Associate Arrays vs. Oracle Apps Lookup Tables (Better Performance?)

edited Oct 4, 2010 3:34AM in PL/SQL (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered
 Hi,

If I need to store a 2-dimensional array with 2 columns that contains a 'code' in one column and the expanded meaning in another column, are there any advantages of creating an associative array instead of creating a lookup type in Apps?

I guess lookups have the advantages of being re-usable in multiple places whereas the associative array would only be able to be used in the package that it is defined in.

Are there any performance advantages that associative arrays offer over lookups?
