Answer / keshav

CREATE Or Replace TYPE AddressType AS OBJECT (
street VARCHAR2(15),
city VARCHAR2(15),
state CHAR(2),
zip VARCHAR2(5)
);

CREATE Or Replace TYPE nested_table_AddressType AS TABLE OF AddressType;

CREATE TABLE employee (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
first_name VARCHAR2(10),
last_name VARCHAR2(10),
addresses nested_table_AddressType
)
NESTED TABLE
addresses
STORE AS
nested_addresses;

INSERT INTO employee VALUES (

nested_table_AddressType(
AddressType('2 Ave', 'City', 'MA', '12345'),
AddressType('4 Ave', 'City', 'CA', '54321')

Answer / subrat ray

Nested tables hold an arbitrary number of elements. They use sequential numbers as subscripts.
You can define equivalent SQL types,allowing nested tables to be stored in database tables and manipulated through SQL.
->it does not have fixed upper bound.
->the data storage is out of line.

DECLARE
TYPE COURSELIST IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10);
COURSES COURSELIST;
BEGIN
COURSES:=COURSELIST('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('THE TOTAL NO OF ELEMENTS ARE:'||COURSES.COUNT);
COURSES.DELETE(1,5);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('THE NO OF ELEMENTS ARE PRESENT IS:'||COURSES.COUNT);
END;
SQL> /
THE TOTAL NO OF ELEMENTS ARE:9
THE NO OF ELEMENTS ARE PRESENT IS:4
