Called from where? :) I think Tanel, Mladen and you missed the ironical
point -- if it can't be called from SQL why it is a deterministic one?
It was very simple question asked for fun -- Mladen who said: "Hey, I'll
sue you for using my code. My code is fair and balanced and you cannot
use it without paying royalties." :) So, he put "deterministic" clause
then. :)
P.S.: Tanel, I do not need an example, it was a joke.

Could you please kindly provide an example of its usage in SQL. Please
create
an FBI using the original function below (as is, no modifications or
wrappers).
It would be really intersting how "deterministic" functionality would work
for a PL/SQL function that returns BOOLEAN datatype. Thank you!
