* Purpose:
* In an object-relational data model, structures can contain "Arrays" or collections of other data-types.
* In Oracle 8i, a "VARRAY" is typically used to represent a collection of primitive data or aggregate structures.
* These arrays are stored with their parent structure in the same table.
