Already posted this in Oracle forums but looks like the captcha there is giving me issues so trying to post the same question here,

I have a pipeline function that reads data from a table, given the date

CREATE TABLE PTEST
(
 X  NUMBER,
 MYDATE DATE
);
SET DEFINE OFF;
Insert into PTEST
  (X, MYDATE)
 Values
  (100, TO_DATE('4/4/2021', 'MM/DD/YYYY'));
Insert into PTEST
  (X, MYDATE)
 Values
  (100, TO_DATE('4/5/2021', 'MM/DD/YYYY'));
Insert into PTEST
  (X, MYDATE)
 Values
  (100, TO_DATE('4/2/2021', 'MM/DD/YYYY'));
Insert into PTEST
  (X, MYDATE)
 Values
  (200, TO_DATE('4/3/2021', 'MM/DD/YYYY'));
COMMIT;
Below is the pipeline function that reads from above table
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE my_PKG
IS
  CURSOR ctest (pdate date)
  is
  select x, mydate
  from ptest where mydate = pdate;
   TYPE c_type IS TABLE OF ctest%ROWTYPE;
  FUNCTION getdata (
   pdate    IN DATE DEFAULT NULL
   )
   RETURN c_type
   PIPELINED;
END my_PKG;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY my_PKG
AS
  FUNCTION getdata (
   pdate    IN DATE DEFAULT NULL
     )
   RETURN c_type
   PIPELINED
  AS
   v_date     DATE;
         v_c_type  c_type;
   v_count    PLS_INTEGER := 0;
     BEGIN
        v_date := pdate;
        FOR r IN ctest (v_date
            )
     LOOP
      v_c_type := c_type (r);
      PIPE ROW (r);
      v_count := v_count + 1;
     END LOOP;
          RETURN;
  EXCEPTION
   when others then null;
  END getdata;
END my_PKG;
I am trying to write a procedure where , there will be a cursor that has data for 04-APR and 05-APR,, and i want to call the above pipeline query inside the procedure and the result should be data from mytable for 04-APR and 05-APR (whatever dates we use in the curosr)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P_REPORT
IS
CURSOR C1 IS
SELECT * from PTEST WHERE MYDATE IN ('04-APR-2021','05-APR-2021');
BEGIN
 FOR R1 IN C1 LOOP
  select * from table (my_PKG.getdata(R1.MYDATE));
   END LOOP;
END;
I get the error that PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement

How can I call the pipeline query inside a stored proc ? basically I get the data for one date by using below query, i am trying a PLSQL stored proc that when called, gives data for more than one date

SELECT * FROM TABLE (my_PKG.getdata('02-APR-2021'));

I will be using the stored procedure call in a microsoft power bi report direct query (live), will a ref cursor solve my problem or is there any other way ?

I tried the sys_refcursor ,reading it from sql statement, at the end I still have a sql statement that is select * from table(populate_p('02-APR-2021')); Question is how to put it in a cursor for loop ?

taking a cue from https://community.oracle.com/tech/developers/discussion/888365/pl-sql-101-understanding-ref-cursors
create or replace type ptype as object(x number,
                      mydate date);
 create or replace type t_ptype as table of ptype;
create or replace function get_pdata(p_mydate in date) return sys_refcursor is
   v_rc sys_refcursor;
  begin
   open v_rc for 'select x, mydate from ptest where mydate = :mydate' using p_mydate;
   return v_rc;
  end;
  create or replace function populate_p(mydate date := null)
  return t_ptype is
   v_ptype t_ptype := t_ptype(); -- Declare a local table structure and initialize it
   v_cnt   number := 0;
   v_rc   sys_refcursor;
   v_x number;
   v_mydate date;
 begin
  v_rc := get_pdata(mydate);
  loop
   fetch v_rc into v_x, v_mydate;
   exit when v_rc%NOTFOUND;
   v_ptype.extend;
   v_cnt := v_cnt + 1;
   v_ptype(v_cnt) := ptype(v_x,v_MYDATE);
  end loop;
  close v_rc;
  return v_ptype;
 end;

select * from table(populate_p('02-APR-2021'));

REF CURSOR is indeed the correct way for this kind of problem:
SQL> create or replace function get_pdata(p_mydate in date) return sys_refcursor is
  2     v_rc sys_refcursor;
  3    begin
  4     open v_rc for 'select x, mydate from ptest where mydate = :mydate' using p_mydate;
  5     return v_rc;
  6    end;
  7  /

Function created.

SQL> var c refcursor;

SQL> exec :c := get_pdata(to_date('02/04/2021','DD/MM/YYYY'))

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> print c
         X MYDATE
---------- -------------------
       100 02/04/2021 00:00:00

1 row selected.
Now this assumes your client program is able to handle an Oracle ref cursor.

There (just fixing your code without any analysis of the balance of it and your actual end needs):
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE P_REPORT
  2  IS
  3  CURSOR C1 IS
  4  SELECT * from PTEST WHERE MYDATE IN (to_date('04/04/2021','DD/MM/YYYY'),to_date('05/04/2021','DD/MM/YYYY'));
  5  v ptest%ROWTYPE;
  6  BEGIN
  7   FOR R1 IN C1 LOOP
  8    select * into v from table (my_PKG.getdata(R1.MYDATE));
  9    dbms_output.put_line(v.x||' '||v.mydate);
 10     END LOOP;
 11  END;
 12  /

Procedure created.

SQL> exec p_report;
100 04/04/2021 00:00:00
100 05/04/2021 00:00:00

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
You have to tell Oracle where (in which variable(s)) you want to put the result of the query, this is the meaning of the message.

Note:
Quote:
EXCEPTION
when others then null;
This is the BIGGEST error you can make in PL/SQL, read WHEN OTHERS.

Thank you, the procedure p_report works, now problem is in power bi i cannot execute a stored procedure, can this be a function that I can use in a select statement which will return exactly what the p_report procedure is returning ?

maybe a pipeline function ? this is because if its a pipeline function power bi accepts it (as its like saying select * from table)...

trying to write a simple package that has a pipeline function that has p_report logic..will keep posted in this thread if it works.

You can make p_report a pipelined function as you did it for getdata:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE my_PKG
  2  IS
  3    CURSOR ctest (pdate date)
  4    is
  5    select x, mydate
  6    from ptest where mydate = pdate;
  7     TYPE c_type IS TABLE OF ptest%ROWTYPE;
  8    FUNCTION getdata (
  9     pdate    IN DATE DEFAULT NULL
 10     )
 11     RETURN c_type
 12     PIPELINED;
 13    FUNCTION P_REPORT RETURN c_type PIPELINED;
 14  END my_PKG;
 15  /

Package created.

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY my_PKG
  2  AS
  3    FUNCTION getdata (
  4     pdate    IN DATE DEFAULT NULL
  5       )

  7     PIPELINED
  8    AS
  9     v_date     DATE;
 10           v_c_type  c_type;
 11     v_count    PLS_INTEGER := 0;
 12       BEGIN
 13          v_date := pdate;
 14          FOR r IN ctest (v_date
 15              )
 16       LOOP
 17        v_c_type := c_type (r);
 18        PIPE ROW (r);
 19        v_count := v_count + 1;
 20       END LOOP;
 21            RETURN;
 22    END getdata;
 23    FUNCTION P_REPORT RETURN c_type PIPELINED
 24    is
 25     CURSOR C1 IS
 26     SELECT * from PTEST
 27     WHERE MYDATE IN (to_date('04/04/2021','DD/MM/YYYY'),to_date('05/04/2021','DD/MM/YYYY'));
 28     v ptest%ROWTYPE;

But I don't see why get_data could not take 2 parameters and directly return the final result (unless this is an existing function you can't change). If so, why not:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE my_PKG
  2  IS
  3    CURSOR ctest (pdate date)
  4    is
  5    select x, mydate
  6    from ptest where mydate = pdate;

  8    FUNCTION getdata (
  9     pdate    IN DATE DEFAULT NULL
 10     )
 11     RETURN c_type
 12     PIPELINED;
 13    FUNCTION P_REPORT RETURN c_type PIPELINED;

HI Micheal,

There is one problem when I am using example 1, when i enter a mydate value which already exists, I get exact fetch returns ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows

we are using cursors so I am confused why should it give this error. There are two records of April 3, hence this error

CREATE TABLE PTEST
(
  X       NUMBER,
  MYDATE  DATE
);

SET DEFINE OFF;
Insert into PTEST
   (X, MYDATE)

   (100, TO_DATE('4/4/2021', 'MM/DD/YYYY'));
Insert into PTEST
   (X, MYDATE)
 Values
   (100, TO_DATE('4/5/2021', 'MM/DD/YYYY'));
Insert into PTEST
   (X, MYDATE)
 Values
   (100, TO_DATE('4/3/2021', 'MM/DD/YYYY'));
Insert into PTEST
   (X, MYDATE)

In this case, you have to loop on get_data result and only retrieve the distinct dates from C1 as this is the only thing you use:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY my_PKG
  2     AS
  3     FUNCTION getdata (
  4         pdate    IN DATE DEFAULT NULL
  5         )
  6        RETURN c_type
  7      PIPELINED
  8      AS
  9      v_date     DATE;
 10            v_c_type  c_type;
 11      v_count    PLS_INTEGER := 0;
 12         BEGIN
 13           v_date := pdate;
 14           FOR r IN ctest (v_date
 15                )
 16        LOOP
 17        v_c_type := c_type (r);
 18         PIPE ROW (r);
 19         v_count := v_count + 1;
 20         END LOOP;
 21               RETURN;
 22      END getdata;
 23       FUNCTION P_REPORT RETURN c_type PIPELINED
 24     is
 25      CURSOR C1 IS
 26      SELECT distinct mydate from PTEST
 27       WHERE MYDATE IN (to_date('02/04/2021','DD/MM/YYYY'),to_date('03/04/2021','DD/MM/YYYY'),to_date('05/04/2021','DD/MM/YYYY'));
 28      BEGIN
 29        FOR R1 IN C1 LOOP
 30         for r2 in (
 31           select * from table (my_PKG.getdata(R1.MYDATE))
 32         ) loop
 33           pipe row (r2);
 34         END LOOP;
