Answer / vans

The usage of plsql table and plsql records is high
performance.It enhance the performance.

Rather than using the cursor variable we can make use of
plsql records which is less time consuming.

For ex:
CURSOR emp_cur IS
SELECT trunc(sysdate) AS hire_date
,202 AS business_group_id
,'Raz' AS last_name
,'M' AS SEX
,13 AS person_type_id
,'Test Employee Creation3' AS per_comments
from dual;

TYPE tab_emp IS TABLE OF emp_cur%rowtype INDEX BY
BINARY_INTEGER;
emp_rec tab_emp;
