Answer / pavan_1981

these two are used with cursors to store the returing
result from the query.
%TYPE:a variable is declared to be of %type when we are
referring to a single specific column.when we declare a
variable to be of %type of a column,the variable datatype
becomes the datatype of that column..here it can only one
datatype that of the column.

%ROWTYPE:same as above but takes a single row at a time and
can accomidate multiple datatypes.it can store whole row at
a time containing different datatypes.
