there are types
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DATE_RANGE IS OBJECT (
STARTDATE DATE,
ENDDATE DATE
);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DATE_RANGES_T IS TABLE OF DATE_RANGE;
and table with collection per row
---------------------------------------------------------
| COLUMN
---------------------------------------------------------
ROW | DATE_RANGES_T(
| DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-01',DATE '2021-01-02'),
| DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-03',DATE '2021-01-04'),
| DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-05',DATE '2021-01-06')
| )
---------------------------------------------------------
ROW | DATE_RANGES_T(
| DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-07',DATE '2021-01-08'),
| DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-09',DATE '2021-01-10')
| )
---------------------------------------------------------
ROW | DATE_RANGES_T(
| DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-11',DATE '2021-01-12')
| )

is it possible to select all date_range's objects from this table to resultset like that?
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-01',DATE '2021-01-02')
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-03',DATE '2021-01-04')
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-05',DATE '2021-01-06')
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-07',DATE '2021-01-08')
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-09',DATE '2021-01-10')
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-11',DATE '2021-01-12')
something like this
WITH TT AS (
SELECT DATE_RANGES_T(
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-01',DATE '2021-01-02'),
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-03',DATE '2021-01-04'),
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-05',DATE '2021-01-06')
) DT FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT DATE_RANGES_T(
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-07',DATE '2021-01-08'),
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-09',DATE '2021-01-10')
) FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT DATE_RANGES_T(
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-11',DATE '2021-01-12')
) FROM DUAL
)
SELECT
(SELECT STARTDATE FROM TABLE(DT)), (SELECT ENDDATE FROM TABLE(DT))
FROM TT;
but just with no ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
error occurs
in Oracle database 11.2
You need to use the TABLE() function as follows:
WITH TT AS (
SELECT DATE_RANGES_T(
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-01',DATE '2021-01-02'),
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-03',DATE '2021-01-04'),
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-05',DATE '2021-01-06')
) DT FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT DATE_RANGES_T(
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-07',DATE '2021-01-08'),
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-09',DATE '2021-01-10')
) FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT DATE_RANGES_T(
DATE_RANGE(DATE '2021-01-11',DATE '2021-01-12')
) FROM DUAL
)
SELECT T.STARTDATE, T.ENDDATE FROM TT, TABLE(TT.DT) T;
