SQL & PL/SQL

Hi All,

My name is John and I've got a problem which I need to share with all of you guru and experts. I've created the following pipeline function under the Oracle user ABC:

CREATE OR replace FUNCTION SomeFunction(p_from_date DATE, p_to_date DATE) RETURN T_TAB_A pipelined
IS
PRAGMA autonomous_transaction;
BEGIN
DELETE FROM temp_rcm;

INSERT INTO temp_rcm
SELECT * FROM int.facility fd,
int.capacity co
WHERE co.resource_name = fd.resource_name
AND co.trade_date = fd.trade_date
AND co.trade_date BETWEEN p_from_date AND p_to_date;

COMMIT;

FOR rec IN (SELECT co.*
FROM temp_rcm co
left join int.outage o
ON ( o.flag = 'Y'
AND o.reason_flag = 'F'
AND o.INTERVAL = co.INTERVAL
AND co.resource_name = o.resource_name )
ORDER BY co.INTERVAL,
co.name) LOOP
pipe ROW (T_A( rec.INTERVAL, rec.trade_date,
rec.resource_name,rec.day_of_week_long, rec.working_day, rec.peak));
END LOOP;

RETURN;
END SomeFunction;


I was able to compile and create the SomeFunction function successfully but when I executed it using the following command:

select * from table(SomeFunction(to_date('01/01/2010',to_date('01/01/2010')));

I was returned with the Oracle error - ORA-06519: active autonomous transaction detected and rolled back

I have searched through the web, such Oracle error occurs whenever the function has a missing 'COMMIT' or 'ROLLBACK' command inside an autonomous_transaction. But the fact is I have already included the 'COMMIT;' in the function. I suspected that the error was caused by the tables which I queried against (like int.facility and int.capacity) were all views that belonged to another schema called int. Or is that something that I miss in the function? Thank you for your time and assistance.

Regards,
John
