Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "PL/SQL" in English language version.
A pipelined table function [...] returns a result set as a collection [...] iteratively. [... A]s each row is ready to be assigned to the collection, it is 'piped out' of the function.
Whenever the PL/SQL runtime engine encounters an external procedure call, the Oracle Database starts the extproc process. The database passes on the information received from the call specification to theextproc
process, which helps it to locate the external procedure within the library and execute it using the supplied parameters. Theextproc
process loads the dynamic linked library, executes the external procedure, and returns the result back to the database.
