Hi,

Why not use the the table column type?
Oracle has this feature:

Columname table.column%type;

Since your procedure will depends in some table, there is no need to
raise the dependency level to domains.
Also changing a column datatype will recompile your procedure as well.
And domain changes are harder than column changes...
