The figure shows how a storage table for a nested table works. The storage table has two columns:

• NESTED_TABLE_ID
• Values

The NESTED_TABLE_ID column identifies the rows in the parent table to which the nested table's rows belong. The nested tables are identified as A, B, C, D, and E.

In the storage table, rows associated with the same parent row are dispersed throughout the storage table, rather than being grouped.
