It may be better to name it specifically as INTEGER etc. but good practice would dictate using the %TYPE option..

Dear gurus !
What is better performance-wise - to declare a variable inside a pl/sql block (or a trigger) as integer (number , Pls_integer etc..) or as mytable.mycolumn%TYPE .
Again , i'm concerned ONLY about performance in this question.

Thanks a lot.
