Unfortunately, PL/PQL Programming, 2nd Edition, does not make it clear what=
=20
happens if you select the wrong columns for a given %ROWTYPE. Like PL/pgSQ=
L,=20
PL/SQL Programming encourages the use of RECORDs rather than %ROWTYPE.
I'll post to the SQL list to see if any of the Oracle hackers there knows.
