I would love to hear of an application that uses nested data with an
explanation of why it is preferable to the "old school" traditional
approach. I have yet to see it in use in any production environment.
Oracle would not have developed this and made it available unless there
were customer's asking for it.
Anybody use it?

I don't think this was intended for just me.

stay away.. you'll be quite thankful. it is just relational anyway,
and accessing them from clients and via sql becomes much more complex.
you can use views to make relational data look like nested data if you
really want a result set to come back that contains a row that has
collection of child elements. (like a nested table)
