Oracle: Select From Record Datatype

Question

I have a function that returns a record datatype (2 fields: ID and Name). How can I get at the data from a select statement?

Specifically, I am trying using an Oracl

The formatting of my comment for Rob van Wijk is bad. To continue his thought.

-- create a collection type 
CREATE TYPE myobj_tab AS TABLE OF myobj; 

-- have the function return a collection type 
CREATE OR REPLACE function f return myobj_tab 
IS 
    objtab myobj_tab; 
BEGIN 
    objtab := myobj_tab(myobj(1,'test')); 
    return objtab; 
end f; 

-- CAST it as a table and straight up select from it. 
SELECT id, name FROM TABLE(CAST(f() AS myobj_tab));
