UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


{20}  "Constants" section, syntax example;
"CONSTANT" keyword is placed *after* the datatype, but should be placed *before* the
datatype.

Supporting reference: "Oracle PL/SQL Programming" 3rd ed., pg 161, "Declaring
Constants" section, syntax example.


[113]  1st paragraph;
The introductory paragraph about bulk binds states: "Collections of records cannot be
a target of a BULK COLLECT INTO clause."  This is false as of version 9 release 2.
From the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference (of 10g):

"When you query all the columns of a table, you can store the entire result set in a
collection of records, which makes it convenient to loop through the results and
refer to different columns:

SELECT * FROM employees BULK COLLECT INTO all_employees;
FOR i IN all_employees.FIRST .. all_employees.LAST
LOOP
  ...
END LOOP;"
