An anchored type defines a data type based on another SQL
object such as a column, global variable, SQL variable, SQL parameter,
or the row of a table or view.
A data type defined using an anchored type definition maintains
a dependency on the object to which it is anchored. Any change in
the data type of the anchor object will impact the anchored data type.
If anchored to the row of a table or view, the anchored data type
is ROW with the fields defined by the columns of the anchor table
or anchor view.
