for example : first create type object say as address ,for this synatx or query is used: create type address_ty as object(Street varchar2(50),City char(10),Zip number(6));

now use this address_ty as datatype in the time of table creation for example: create table Example(emp_name varchar2(10),emp_id number(10),address address_ty); this will create table Example having Address as address_ty as a datatype..

Now insert into Values In Example Table Insert Into example Values('Sandeep Kumar',595,address_ty('Snap on sector 126','Noida',201301);

You can also use the "." syntax when retrieving columns:

select c.contact_address.city from cust_contact c;

Please note that if cust_contact is a table of objects, then you must use the table alias "c".

Selection is easy. Just include the type column in the query projection. Assuming that the ADDRESS column is called contact_address:

select id, contact_name, contact_address
from cust_contact
/

With inserts you need to specify the type in the statement:

insert into cust_contact values
    (some_seq.nextval
     , 'MR KNOX'
     , address(34, 'Main Street', 'Whoville', 'SU')
    )
/
