--varrays

/*The number of elements is known in advance.

The elements are usually accessed sequentially.

When stored in the database,

varrays keep their ordering and subscripts.

A varray is stored as a single object.

If a varray is less than 4 KB,
it is stored inside the table of which it is a column;
otherwise,
it is stored outside the table but in the same tablespace.
