title: What does "%Type" mean in Oracle sql?
body: <p>I'm getting my first experience with Oracle and TOAD (I know SSMS). I came across this "%Type" next to an input parameter in an update procedure and I have no idea what it is or what it means. I found links on Google related to "%Rowtype". Is the same thing or something entirely different?</p>
  
  <p>If this is vague, I apologize. As always, thanks for the help.</p>
