Records and collections are powerful structures that enable you to develop programs that manage large sets of data. Records let you manage sets of variable types; collections let you manage groups of a variable type. You need to have a command of records to use collections. In this chapter, we will explain records and show you how to use them in your PL/SQL programming code. Collections will be covered in Chapter 6.
