I don't know what is meant by dynamic chained list = is, but if it is anything
comparable to a linked list as in 'C', you can use = PL/SQL tables to
implement it. It will be a crude implementation as = there is no concept of
pointers in Oraclespeak.

PL/SQL tables are a sparse collection type so = (probably) they are a good
