Returning a table from a stored procedure

Question

hi, i need to return a table from a stored procedure and show it, and come to this, but a don't know hoy to run it, so i don't know if it is right, can anyone help me?
uTable out objects_uptime%rowtype
as
begin
select * into uTable from objects_uptime;
end;

Answer 1

well, i finally discovered how to do the trick
this is the code for the function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FN_GET_RECORDS RETURN UPTIME PIPELINED IS
CURSOR cUptime is select * from objects_uptime;
p refcur.refcur_t;
temp p%ROWTYPE;
temp2 OUPTIME := OUPTIME(null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);
BEGIN
OPEN cUptime;
LOOP
FETCH cUptime into temp;
temp2.OBJ_NAME := temp.OBJ_NAME;
temp2.IP := temp.IP;
temp2.STATUS := temp.STATUS;
temp2.DOE := temp.DOE;
temp2.ENABLED := temp.ENABLED;
temp2.COMMENT00000 := temp.COMMENT00000;
temp2.USERID := temp.USERID;
temp2.OBJECTID := temp.OBJECTID;
temp2.MNTID := temp.MNTID;
pipe row(temp2);
EXIT WHEN cUptime%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END FN_GET_RECORDS;
and this for the auxiliar package, object and table:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE REFCUR
as
TYPE refcur_t IS REF CURSOR RETURN objects_uptime%ROWTYPE;
end REFCUR;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE OUPTIME AS OBJECT ( "OBJ_NAME"
VARCHAR2(255), "IP" VARCHAR2(20), "STATUS" VARCHAR2(10),
"DOE" DATE, "ENABLED" NUMBER(10, 1), "COMMENT00000"
VARCHAR2(1000), "USERID" VARCHAR2(50), "OBJECTID" NUMBER(10,
1), "MNTID" NUMBER(10, 1) )
CREATE TYPE TUPTIME AS
TABLE OF OUPTIME
i call it this way:
select * from table(FN_GET_RECORDS ())
if anyone knows how to do the same in a shorter manner, tell me please.
thanks to everybody for the help.
