  1. The PIPE ROW statement, which can appear only in the body of a pipelined table function, returns a table row (but not control) to the invoker of the function. A pipelined table function is declared with the option "PIPELINED".

    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg1 AS
    TYPE numset_t IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
    FUNCTION f1(x NUMBER) RETURN numset_t PIPELINED;
    END pkg1;
    /

    CREATE PACKAGE BODY pkg1 AS
    -- FUNCTION f1 returns a collection of elements (1,2,3,... x)
    FUNCTION f1(x NUMBER) RETURN numset_t PIPELINED IS
    BEGIN
    FOR i IN 1..x LOOP
    PIPE ROW(i);
    END LOOP;
    RETURN;
    END f1;
    END pkg1;
    /

    Invoke pipelined table function in SELECT statement:

    SELECT * FROM TABLE(pkg1.f1(5));

    Result:

    COLUMN_VALUE
    ------------
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5

    5 rows selected.

  3. Have you done any similar study on migration from Sybase to other databases like Oracle, PostGres, MySQL, etc.? Or do you have any pointers / references that I can look for?
