I use them for transient collections , for example,
the "table" and "cast" operators to pass 'chunks' of
rows about in PL/SQL. Thus this is really just
creating various types in the dictionary and
referencing these in PL/SQL routines.
I'm not really a fan of using object-segments (for
lack of a better terms), ie physical tables of objects
et al, since if you dig under the covers, Oracle is
just implementing the whole lot as relational tables
anyway - in which case, I'd rather have the control.
