🆓Warning
Always follow naming conventions for cursor parameters.
Reason
PL/SQL identifiers share the same namespace as SQL identifiers. Follow naming conventions to prevent naming conflicts, improve readability, and clearly indicate the scope without forcing the use of qualified names. A common practice is to use a prefix and/or suffix to distinguish the identifier types.
