Nested Table Type Nodes

About Nested Table Type Nodes

A Nested Table Type node is a child of the User-Defined Types node. It represents a Nested Table type defined in the database.

How Nested Table Type Nodes Work

A Nested Table type node has a different icon than an object type node or VARRAY type node.A Nested Table type node will have a child node only if the Nested Table type has an element of user-defined type in the database.

For more information, see Oracle Database Object-Relational Developer's Guide.

To perform actions on this node, right-click the node and from the menu, choose the appropriate command. To view the node's properties, select the node and/or click Properties in the node's menu.

Menu Options

Menu Option	Description
Edit	Opens the type definition for the Nested Table type in a PL/SQL Editor Window.
Query Window	Opens the Query Window so that you can execute SQL and PL/SQL queries from Visual Studio.
Generate Custom Class	Launches the Oracle Custom Class Wizard for the selected Nested Table type. See Using the Oracle Custom Class Wizard.
Generate Create Script…	Writes the Nested Table type definition to a `.sql` file.
Generate Create Script to Project	Generates the Nested Table type definition to a `.sql` file and adds the `.sql` file to the open Oracle Database Project. Generates the Nested Table type node definition to a .`sql` file and adds the `.sql` file to an open Oracle Database Project. If multiple objects in Server Explorer are selected, a master SQL script is created in the Oracle Database Project Scripts folder. This master script contains calls to individual child SQL scripts (one for each schema object) generated into the various schema object folders and this master script is ordered with dependencies taken into consideration. If there are multiple open Oracle Database projects, Visual Studio prompts you to select the project to add the script to. This operation can also be performed by dragging and dropping the Server Explorer node(s) directly onto a database project folder. See Managing Oracle Script Files for more information. Note: Oracle Database Project Version 2 projects are not supported. To add scripts to this project type, use Import Schema or Add Existing Item menu items on an Oracle Database Project Version 2 project folder, or use the Schema Compare tool.
Delete	Drops the Nested Table type from the database.
Refresh	Updates the Nested Table Type node.
Properties	Displays the Properties window.
