they both need to use the same base type. Here is an example:
create or replace package my_types
as
type myArray is table of number index by binary_integer;
end;
/
create or replace procedure proc1( x in my_types.myArray )
is
begin
for i in 1 .. x.count loop
dbms_output.put_line( x(i) );
end loop;
end;
/
create or replace procedure proc2
as
y my_types.myArray;
begin
for i in 1 .. 5 loop
y(i) := i;
end loop;
proc1(y);
end;
/
SQL> exec proc2
1
2
3
4
5
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
See how both use the SAME type -- my_types.myArray. If you have the type defined in 2 different places, even of the underlying definition is the same, they are different types...
