Definition of 'shape'

Very odd that the word shape is used so much in the db world but the vendors 
do not use it and it is not in the glossary of any oracle document.  One 
person said 'shape' can't be defined.  Like I said, very strange that a word 
that can't be defined is used so much in oracle app code.  Java even has a 
'getHostVarShape' method.



What is the definition of 'shape'?



Thanks.
