A record is simply a set of data stored in a table, for example, a customer record. A record in a database is an object that can contain one or more values. Groups of records are then saved in a table; the table defines the data that each record may contain.

%TYPE : Used to declare a field with the same type as that of a specified table's column. %ROWTYPE: Used to declare a record with the same types as found in the specified table, view or cursor (= multiple columns).

The %ROWTYPE attribute provides a record type that represents a row in a database table. The record can store an entire row of data selected from the table or fetched from a cursor or cursor variable. Variables declared using %ROWTYPE are treated like those declared using a datatype name.
