Look it up in Oracle SQL Reference - you will find everything you need to know about all Oracle data types there. For PL/SQL data types, read PL/SQL Developer's Guide. You can find both books searchable online at http://tahiti.oracle.com - OTN registration is required (registration is free and they do not spam.)
