OMBALTER PLSQL_TABLE_TYPE

Purpose

Alter the Table Type by resetting its properties.

Prerequisites

Should be in the context of a Package.

Syntax

alterPlSqlTableTypeCommand =  OMBALTER ( PLSQL_TABLE_TYPE "QUOTED_STRING" (
           "renameClause" [ SET "setPropertiesClause" ] | SET 
          "setPropertiesClause" ) )
     renameClause =  RENAME TO "QUOTED_STRING"
     setPropertiesClause =  PROPERTIES "(" "propertyNameList" ")" VALUES "(" 
          "propertyValueList" ")"
     propertyNameList =  "UNQUOTED_STRING" { "," "UNQUOTED_STRING" }
     propertyValueList =  "propertyValue" { "," "propertyValue" }
     propertyValue =  ( "QUOTED_STRING" | "INTEGER_LITERAL" | 
          "FLOATING_POINT_LITERAL" )
