RE: is it possible to use a function to... SOLUTION 1

select * from alias
where symbol in ( select *
from THE ( select cast( symbol_in_list(ALL_SYMBOLS_FOR('FORA-NA' )) as 
symboltableType ) from dual ) )
 

Ok. This works.  I created a function called all_symbols_for which passes in 
the symbol and passes out all the values in varchar2 that I need.

then followed the ask Tom advice.  Weird, I looked there first and nothing came 
up.... Glad someone could find it.

Tom, 

I am still going to try what you sent me this afternoon. I will post that if I 
get it working.... 

Thanks to All.

The pipeline function would have been optimal... but I am on 8i.

Lots of good suggestions.

Have a great weekend EVERYONE... The virtual beers are on me!

Kathy

What I want to do is build a In list and feed it to a query:

select * from test2 where
symbol in ( select test_function('IBM') symbol from dual);
