Well, this is another story and it's explanation may be long (and, substantially, OT)
We have a number of stored package functions that returns rows (Oracle record types).
get_key_2 is one amongst them, that uses a particularly simple record type.
I use it a starting point for my investigative experiments which provide the subject of this thread

Thanks for your attention
