Paragraph beginning "Formal Parameters are..." |
3rd sentence in paragraph says:
"... the actual parameters to the procedure are in_id...",
and should say:
"... the formal parameters to the procedure are in_id..."
Similarly, the 4th sentence in the paragraph says:
"The formal parameters used in the call..."
and should say:
"The actual parameters used in the call..."
The two terms "actual parameter" and "formal parameter" were defined in the same
paragraph, and their sense is reversed in the two sentences above.

2nd line of code example from top of page |
The code as written reads
Note from the Author or Editor:

in the sample code the two lines following the "BEGIN" |
The example code had the following lines
BEGIN
PIPE ROW(dad_in); -- identify stream input
PIPE ROW(mom_in); -- identify stream input
This was completely wrong. The PIPE ROW function only pipes output and not input. If
these two PIPE ROW lines are removed then and only this is the example correct.
AUTHOR'S REPLY:
The example NOW READS:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE num_tab_typ AS TABLE OF NUMBER
/
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION piped_func(factor IN NUMBER)
RETURN num_tab_typ
PIPELINED AS
BEGIN
FOR counter IN 1..1000
LOOP
PIPE ROW(counter*factor);
END LOOP;
END piped_func;
/
SELECT * FROM TABLE(piped_func(2))
WHERE rownum < 5
