Attribute data types

-------------------------
1. It is a column data type
2. It is a pointer, it points to same address of the existing table.
3. It is a pointer, it inherits the specification of the one database table column
or entire database table or cursor specification.
4. It is based on the dynamic memory management concept.
5. The main concept of attribute data type is to reduce cost of maintenance.
6. It is classified into 2 types
a) %type
b) %rowtype

%type :- It is used for to declare scalar variable, It inherits the specification

of one database table column.
syntax : <variablename> <tablename>.<columnname>%type
Example : v_dname dept.dname%type;

%rowtype :- It is used for to declare structure variable(also known as record

type variable), it inhertis the specification of enitre database table.
Syntax : <variablename> <tablename>%rowtype;
Example : x emp%rowtype;

x.empno
x.ename
x.sal
x.deptno
