%rowtype is associated entire table(if we want to declare all columns then we need to declare %rowtype).

%type is associated with one column .(if we want to declare entire column then we need to declare %type).

If using %type and %rowtype , no need to know the the data type of the table column . and once the development is finished , the type of column is changed it will not effect the coding.

Pass by reference: "IN" Case
Pass by value : "Out" or "IN OUT" Case which have the overhead of copying the value to new procedure parameter.
In order to make to Pass by reference we will use NOCOPY
Pass by reference: "OUT NOCOPY" or "IN OUT NOCOPY" which deals which the actual reference value.

Table level constraints are defined for compound constraints like primary key involving more than one col and have the flexibility to provide user defined names to these which is not possible in case of col level constraints. Only NOTNULL constraints cant be defined as table level.

PL/SQL Block contains :

Declare : optional

Variable declaration

Begin  : Manadatory

Procedural statements.

Exception : Optional

any errors to be trapped

End :  Mandatory

So only begin and end keywords are required, as needed, to process a pl/sql block.

Before a PL/SQL program can be executed, it must be compiled. The PL/SQL compiler resolves references to Oracle objects by looking up their definitions in the data dictionary. Then, the compiler assigns storage addresses to program variables that will hold Oracle data so that Oracle can look up the addresses at run time. This process is called binding.

How a database language implements binding affects runtime efficiency and flexibility. Binding at compile time, called static or early binding, increases efficiency because the definitions of database objects are looked up then, not at run time. On the other hand, binding at run time, called dynamic or late binding, increases flexibility because the definitions of database objects can remain unknown until then.

This is the best answer I found:

Early binding is checking for existence of objects referred in the program unit during the compilation phase. Late binding will not check the existence of objects till the runtime

A trigger may be a
1. DML Trigger on tables
2. Instead of triggers on views
3. System triggers on database or schema

Based on the way it executes statements  triggers are of two types
1. Statement leve trigger
2.  Row level trigger

A trigger fires for three actions
1. Insert
2. Delete 
3.Update

and the trigger can the fired
1. Before action
2. After action.

Basically 5 main types in Oracle Triggers
1. DML Trigger (3 statement * 2 timing * 2 level = 12 types).
