表函数可接受查询语句或游标作为输入参数，并可输出多行数据。该函数可以平行执行，并可持续输出数据流，被称作管道式输出。应用表函数可将数据转换分阶段处理，并省去中间结果的存储和缓冲表。
1. 用游标传递数据
利用游标 REF CURSOR 可将数据集（多行记录）传递到PL/sql函数：
sql;">
SELECT *
FROM TABLE (myfunction (CURSOR (SELECT *
FROM mytab)));
2. 利用两个实体化视图（或表）作为样板数据
sql;">
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW sum_sales_country_mv
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH COMPLETE
ENABLE QUERY REWRITE
AS
SELECT SUBSTR (s.calendar_month_desc,1,4) YEAR,c.country_id country,SUM (sum_amount_sold) sum_amount_sold
FROM sum_sales_month_mv s,customers c
WHERE s.cust_id = c.cust_id
AND c.country_id IN ('US','UK','FR','ES','JP','AU')
GROUP BY SUBSTR (s.calendar_month_desc,4),c.country_id
sql;">
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW sum_es_gend_mv
BUILD DEFERRED
REFRESH FAST
ENABLE QUERY REWRITE
AS
SELECT SUBSTR (s.calendar_month_desc,s.calendar_month_desc cal_month,c.cust_gender,customer c
WHERE s.cust_id = c.cust_id
AND c.country_id = 'ES'
AND sunstr (s.calendar_month_desc,4) = '2000'
GROUP BY SUBSTR (s.calendar_month_desc,s.calendar_month_desc,c.cust_gender;
3. 定义对象类型和基于对象类型的表类型
定义对象类型并且为进一步引用做好准备。
（1）定义对象类型：TYPE sales_country_t
sql;">
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW sum_es_gend_mv
BUILD DEFERRED
REFRESH FAST
ENABLE QUERY REWRITE
AS
SELECT SUBSTR (s.calendar_month_desc,c.cust_gender;
（2）定义表类型：TYPE SUM_SALES_COUNTRY_T_TAB
sql;">
CREATE TYPE sum_sales_country_t_tab AS TABLE OF sales_country_t;
（3）定义对象类型：TYPE sales_gender_t
sql;">
CREATE TYPE sales_gender_t AS OBJECT (
YEAR VARCHAR2 (4),country_id CHAR (2),cust_gender CHAR (1),sum_amount_sold NUMBER
);
（4）定义表类型：TYPE SUM_SALES_GENDER_T_TAB
sql;">
CREATE TYPE sum_sales_gender_t_tab AS TABLE OF sales_gender_t;
（5）定义对象类型：TYPE sales_roll_t
sql;">
CREATE TYPE sales_roll_t AS OBJECT (
channel_desc VARCHAR2 (20),sum_amount_sold NUMBER
);
（6）定义表类型：TYPE SUM_SALES_ROLL_T_TAB
sql;">
CREATE TYPE sum_sales_roll_t_tab AS TABLE OF sales_roll_t;
（7）检查一下建立的类型
sql;">
SELECT object_name,object_type,status
FROM user_objects
WHERE object_type = 'TYPE';
4. 定义包：Create package and define REF CURSOR
sql;">
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE cursor_pkg
I TYPE sales_country_t_rec IS RECORD (
YEAR VARCHAR (4),country CHAR (2),sum_amount_sold NUMBER
);
TYPE sales_gender_t_rec IS RECORD (
YEAR VARCHAR2 (4),sum_amount_sold NUMBER
);
TYPE sales_roll_t_rec IS RECORD (
channel_desc VARCHAR2 (20),sum_amount_sold NUMBER
);
TYPE sales_country_t_rectab IS TABLE OF sales_country_t_rec;
TYPE sales_roll_t_rectab IS TABLE OF sales_roll_t_rec;
TYPE h3_refcur_t IS REF CURSOR
RETURN sales_country_t_rec;
TYPE row_refcur_t IS REF CURSOR
RETURN sum_sales_country_mv%ROWTYPE;
TYPE roll_refcur_t IS REF CURSOR
RETURN sales_roll_t_rec;
TYPE refcur_t IS REF CURSOR;
END corsor_pkg;
5. 定义表函数
（1）定义表函数：FUNCTION Table_Ref_Cur_Week
sql;">
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION table_ref_cur_week (cur CURSOR.refcur_t)
RETURN sum_sales_country_t_tab
IS
YEAR VARCHAR (4);
country CHAR (2);
sum_amount_sold NUMBER;
objset sum_sales_country_t_tab := sum_sales_country_t_tab ();
i NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
LOOP
-- Fetch from cursor variable
FETCH cur
INTO YEAR,country,sum_amount_sold;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND;
-- exit when last row is fetched
-- append to collection
i := i + 1;
objset.EXTEND;
objset (i) := sales_country_t (YEAR,sum_amount_sold);
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
RETURN objset;
END;
/
（2）定义表函数：FUNCTION Table_Ref_Cur_h3
sql;">
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION table_ref_cur_h3 (cur cursor_pkg.h3_refcur_t)
RETURN sum_sales_country_t_tab PIPELINED
IS
YEAR VARCHAR (4);
country CHAR (2);
sum_amount_sold NUMBER;
i NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
LOOP
FETCH cur
INTO YEAR,sum_amount_sold;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND; -- exit when last row fetched
PIPE ROW (sales_country_t (YEAR,sum_amount_sold));
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
RETURN;
END;
/
（3）定义表函数：FUNCTION Table_Ref_Cur_row
sql;">
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION table_ref_cur_row (cur cursor_pkg.row_refcur_t)
RETURN sum_sales_country_t_tab PIPELINED
IS
in_rec cur%ROWTYPE;
out_rec sales_country_t := sales_country_t (NULL,NULL,NULL);
BEGIN
LOOP
FETCH cur
INTO in_rec;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND; -- exit when last row is fetched
out_rec.YEAR := in_rec.YEAR;
out_rec.country := in_rec.country;
out_rec.sum_amount_sold := in_rec.sum_amount_sold;
PIPE ROW (out_rec);
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
RETURN;
END;
/
（4）定义表函数：FUNCTION Gender_Table_Ref_Cur_Week
sql;">
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION gender_table_ref_cur_week (cur cursor_pkg.refcur_t)
RETURN sum_sales_gender_t_tab
IS
YEAR VARCHAR2 (4);
country_id CHAR (2);
cust_gender CHAR (1);
sum_amount_sold NUMBER;
objset sum_sales_gender_t_tab := sum_sales_gender_t_tab ();
i NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
LOOP
FETCH cur
INTO YEAR,country_id,cust_gender,sum_amount_sold;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND; -- exit when last row is fetched
i := i + 1;
objset.EXTEND;
objset (i) :=
sum_sales_gender_t (YEAR,sum_amount_sold);
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
RETURN objset;
END;
/
sql;">
SELECT *
FROM TABLE (table_ref_cur_week (CURSOR (SELECT *
FROM sum_sales_country_mv)));
SELECT *
FROM TABLE (table_ref_cur_h3 (CURSOR (SELECT *
FROM sum_sales_country_mv)));
SELECT *
FROM TABLE (table_ref_cur_row (CURSOR (SELECT *
FROM sum_sales_country_mv)));
SELECT *
FROM TABLE (table_ref_cur_week (CURSOR (SELECT *
FROM sum_sales_country_mv
WHERE country = 'AU')));
