Roland,
Yes and for exactly the right reason.
In fact, I've found over the years that most of my PL/SQL variables end up
being records of Table%RowType, since I nearly always need to use more than
just one column of a table. Table%RowType records are particularly useful
for input arguments to public cursors and return values for functions.
I'm sure someone will call using only a few of the fields in a Table%RowType
record "inefficient", but I've not seen any kind of downside to it.

Hallo you DBAs
Is it good to use this form when you declare variables in pl/sql? Then you
dont have to be afraid of declaring variabloes into wrong datatype and
size.
