Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)

Hello!
I'm new to the Oracle world but together with my coworkers we need to very quickly study Oracle to figure out whether we'll add Oracle to our list of supported databases or not.

Question: How do I create a view with parameters?
I've read the documentation but I could not find this! I found the sql syntax to create a view but no parameters whatsoever...

I have found on the web some very complicated way of doing this, but doesn't Oracle support Views with parameters?

The goal here is to return a recordset, don't forget, so,please don't speak about stored procedures unless you are going to tell me how to get a recordset out of a stored procedure! ;)

Thanks for all your help and attention!
