Is there a SQL function to expand table?

Question

I vaguely remember there being a function that does this, but I think I may be going crazy.

Say I have a datatable, call it table1. It has three columns: column

Answer 1

Use union all

  Select * from table1
   Union all
   Select * from table1
    Union all
   Select * from table1
   Union all
   Select * from table1

For reuse purposes can embed this code in a procedure like

   Create Procedure 
    expandTable(tablename 
     varchar2(50))
       As 
       Select * from table1
   Union all
   Select * from table1
    Union all
   Select * from table1
   Union all
   Select * from table1 
    End
    /
