) NESTED TABLE businesses STORE AS categoryBusinessTable
/
INSERT INTO Category VALUES (
'Restaurant',
businessTableForCategories('xzqpehc234ajdpa8')
)

businesses businessTableForCategories := businessTableForCategories();
BEGIN
businesses.EXTEND( 10000 );
FOR i IN 1 .. 10000 LOOP
businesses(i) := DBMS_RANDOM.STRING( 'x', 128 );
END LOOP;
INSERT INTO Category VALUES ( 'lots of data', businesses );
END;
Consulta 3 :
SELECT name, CARDINALITY( businesses )
