Function returning table in Oracle 8i

Question

I have one function written in SQL server 2000. I am not getting the way to write this function in oracle so that it can return table me as an output.
SQL server's code
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTerminalAccessPolicy4AdHocShift(@rDate datetime,@rTerminal bigint)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN SELECT [EmployeeShift].[UserId], [CLSCData].[CardTagId], [Shift].[MinIn] AS FromTime, [Shift].[MaxOut] AS ToTime, 8 AS Priority, 1 AS AccessRights
FROM (((EmployeeShift INNER JOIN SiteEmployee ON [EmployeeShift].[UserId]=[SiteEmployee].[UserId]) INNER JOIN SiteTerminal ON
[SiteEmployee].[SiteId]=[SiteTerminal].[SiteId]) INNER JOIN Shift ON [EmployeeShift].[ShiftId]=[Shift].[ShiftId]) INNER JOIN CLSCData ON [EmployeeShift].[UserId]=[CLSCData].[UserId]
WHERE [siteTerminal].[TerminalId]=@rTerminal And @rDate Between [SiteEmployee].[FromDate] And [SiteEmployee].[ToDate] And @rDate Between [EmployeeShift].[FromDate] And [EmployeeShift].[ToDate]
Can any ont please help me to write this function?

Hello,
As previously posted you should use export and import utilities.
To execute exp or imp statements you have just to open a command line interface, for instance,
a DOS box on Windows.
So you don't have to use SQL*Plus or TOAD.
About export/import you may care on the mode, to export a single or a list of Tables the Table mode
is enough.
Please, find here an example to begin:

Hope this help.
