PIPE ROW Statement

Syntax

pipe_row_statement ::=

Semantics

row

Row (table element) that the function returns to its invoker, represented by an expression whose type is that of the table element.

If the expression is a record variable, it must be explicitly declared with the data type of the table element. It cannot be declared with a data type that is only structurally identical to the element type. For example, if the element type has a name, then the record variable cannot be declared explicitly with %TYPE or %ROWTYPE or implicitly with %ROWTYPE in a cursor FOR LOOP statement.
