Does use of pipelined/pipe row have a limitation on amount of data returned

Question

We are using Oracle 9i.
We have an existing function that pipes data. Select * from table(cast(schema.my_pkg.get_data() as schema.t_my_data_tab))
Function runs, but only returns around 10,000 records. There are actually about 50,000 records to be returned. I do not believe it is just erroring out one a single and stopping because I sorted my cursor multiple ways to show that in one sort certain records do not show, but when sorted another way they do. It is still possible something is stopping it - I will continue looking. But I would like to know if anyone is aware of any size limitations in the amount of data to be piped? I've looked at the types created & the function and do not see anything that was set for a size. Any ideas?
I apologize I do not know all the correct terms to use. I am taking this over from someone else - hopefully an example of their code will help. Thank you very much.
FUNCTION get_data(p_id NUMBER DEFAULT NULL)
RETURN t_my_data_tab PIPELINED
AS
v_temp VARCHAR2(10);
BEGIN
PIPE ROW
(t_links_contracts_rec
(...data values....)
RETURN;
END;

Answer 1

I'm not sure really, if there was a limitation I believe it would be documented and even would raise an exception. I've only used pipelined table function for smallish sets of data. I can't simulate much as I only have access to 10g and 11g here, so I ran a query with 50,000, but I'm only posting its count for obvious reasons.
