Records
In Chapter 11, “Introduction to Cursors,” you were introduced to the concept of a record type. You discovered that a record is a composite data structure that allows you to combine different yet related data into a logical unit, and you learned how table-based and cursor-based records may be used in cursor processing.
In this chapter, you will continue exploring record types supported by PL/SQL and learn about a user-defined record type. In addition, you will learn about records that contain collections and other records (called nested records) and collections of records.
