Roland,

Yes and for exactly the right reason.

In fact, I've found over the years that most of my PL/SQL variables end up being records of Table%RowType, since I nearly always need to use more than just one column of a table. Table%RowType records are particularly useful for input arguments to public cursors and return values for functions.

I'm sure someone will call using only a few of the fields in a Table%RowType record "inefficient", but I've not seen any kind of downside to it.

Jack

Hallo you DBAs

Is it good to use this form when you declare variables in pl/sql? Then you dont have to be afraid of declaring variabloes into wrong datatype and size.

vOWNER_NO OWNER_INFO.OWNER_NO%TYPE;

Sincerely
