oracle里是否有类似于c语言的split()函数的功能？？？

create type tab_str as table of varchar2(30);
/

create or replace function to_table(p_str varchar2) return tab_str
as
  ltab tab_str := tab_str();
  pos integer := 0;
  ls varchar2(255) := p_str;
begin
  pos := instr(ls,',');
  while pos > 0 loop
    ltab.extend;
    ltab(ltab.count) := substr(ls,1,pos - 1);
    ls := substr(ls,pos + 1);
    pos := instr(ls,',');
  end loop;
  ltab.extend;
  ltab(ltab.count) := ls;
  return ltab;
end;
/
select * from table(cast(to_table('ab,cd,ef') as tab_str));
