In oracle databases we can create a database record type say
ADDRESS
-------------> name varchar2(100)
-------------> phone_no varchar2(20)
-------------> zip number(15)
-------------> street varchar2(100)
etc as the fields.

Is it possible for me to do the same in SQL SERVER 2000 i.e to
create ORACLE like composite record datatype ??? If yes then how ??


Regards
Dhrubo"

You can create user-defined datatypes in SQL Server, but they can only have one base type and can't contain multiple types/properties. You don't really need it anyway, just create an Address table and add those four columns to it. It will function the same way.
