This document contains examples demonstrating various properties and methods of PL/SQL variable arrays (varray) and nested tables. The examples show how to: 1) Declare a varray type and initialize a varray variable, then use COUNT and LIMIT to view the initialized size and maximum limit. 2) Initialize a varray with more elements than originally declared and use COUNT to view the populated size. Also initialize a nested table and use COUNT. 3) Use EXTEND to dynamically increase the size of a varray and nested table, then add elements to the extended positions. 4) Use EXISTS to check if a specific element exists in a varray.
