The difference is :
PLS_INTEGER and BINARY_INTEGER have the same magnitude
range, they are not fully compatible. When a PLS_INTEGER
calculation overflows, an exception is raised. However,
when a BINARY_INTEGER calculation overflows, no exception
is raised if the result is assigned to a NUMBER variable.
Also, PLS_INTEGER operations use machine arithmetic, so
they are faster than NUMBER and BINARY_INTEGER operations,
which use library arithmetic.
In new applications, always use PLS_INTEGER for better
performance.
