Customers are like voters, they have many wants that may not be in their
best interest but there is no use in arguing with them.

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)
