学习TYPE IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2 INDEX BY VARCHAR

今天一朋友发给我一个存储过程，里面有我一些不懂的东西，现记录如下：

TYPE IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2 INDEX BY VARCHAR 有这么一段不明白什么意思，自己做了一个测试：

CREATE OR REPLACE procedure pro_parttable_auto
as
v_table_name varchar2(100);
TYPE type_array_str IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(32) INDEX BY VARCHAR(32);
v_array_table type_array_str;
begin
  v_array_table('STATIC_AGG_HOUR') := 'PART_AGGHOUR_';
  v_array_table('STATIC_AGG_PROVINCE_DAY') := 'PART_PROV_';
  v_table_name := v_array_table.FIRST;
loop
     exit when v_table_name is null;
     dbms_output.put_line(v_array_table(v_table_name));
     dbms_output.put_line(v_table_name);
     v_table_name := v_array_table.next(v_table_name);
end loop;
end;
/

set serveroutput on
exec pro_parttable_auto
PART_AGGHOUR_
STATIC_AGG_HOUR
PART_PROV_
STATIC_AGG_PROVINCE_DAY
