I haven't written any table functions, but I believe this is unnecessary. Instead, your function should probably use a standard interface to
Oracle, most likely ODBC or an Oracle CLI (or JDBC -- can a TF be written in Java?). This would have the added advantage of returning the data in
relatively standard data formats (int, float, etc.) rather than as text that has to be chopped up into columns.
