BULK COLLECT QUERY REWRITE

I understand that Oracle 10g will rewrite your CURSOR FOR LOOP statements into a BULK COLLECT statement.
I am contemplating no longer explicitly writing the BULK COLLECT from now on as it reduces the number of lines of code and greatly simplifies code.
Can anyone see any serious flaws in this strategy?
Kind Regards
Chris

> I also think it is a good idea if people do take the
time to decide their strategy. You seem to be
suggesting that it is a bad idea to stop and think
about what you require from your loop.
Well, that depends on the type of programmer. When one deals with programmers that are not true PL/SQL developers and view PL/SQL.. well, as some kind of inferior database language (compared to something like Java for example).. you want to have templates and stuff to enforce best practises.
> I also don't agree with the 'package tuning knob'.
Each query may have different requirements and, as
with most things in programming, fixing one thing can
have a negative effect on another. It is about the
only place where would not advocate constants.
You have a point - but even so, defining these as constants (even if it has to be inside the actual proc doing the bulk fetch, one per bulk fetch) make it a lot easier to maintain than having to search out the actual bulk fetch statements in the code.
> But i would suggest that analysis is performed on a
close-to-live enviroment with a production level
server, large body of test data and multiple users. I
think we agree on that point.
Yeah.. but the problem there is that I have never really seen such an environment. Usually due to costs. How do you for example duplicate a large RAC, terabytes of SAN space, 1000's of users, for use as a close-to-live enviroment?
The usual approach (by management) is to spend as little as possible on development and Q&A platforms. Which at times means that the performance of dev vs. production can vary a lot.
So we have to play the hand we're dealt with unfortunately.
> Hmmm cmegar and I have never once said "don't worry
about, PL/SQL does it for you".
Yes - of course not. I'm just rambling on in general describing the usual attitudes I see when it comes to features like this.
It is managable in small dev team, but larger ones.. not really. There this attitude is often previlant in my experience. The "silver bullet" bullet syndrome.
> Would you use the same argument with regard to unit
testing. There are not many pl/sql developers who
unit test but should that prevent me using the
technique?
Well.. to be honest, I do not think that a developer that writes at least some basic unit tests for his/her code can be called a developer.
> >[i]Relying on implicit features to "fix" code for
you negates a deeper and better understanding of the
language and what you writeI don't see how using an implicit bulk collect is
fixing code.
Which is why I put it in brackets - "fixing" ito making it more performant, or "fixing" it as a FOR loop contains DMLs that can be changed to FORALLs.
> Don't tell me you've never
updated older code to take advangate of a new
feature.
I can never stop the urge to refactor old code I'm working with. :-)
> >[i]I think of features as an implicit bulk collect
behind the scenes, as crutches for mediocre
programmers.I take it that statement is suggesting that cmedgar
and I are mediocre programmers? Not a nice way to end
an otherwise constructive argument.
How does that saying go? You claim the cloth that I cut? :-)
My sincere apologies to both you guys - I did not intend that statement to personal at all.
Besides, I'm usually more blunt than that what it comes to throwing personal insults around. ;-)
This statement was just a general observation going back to my early days of writing Cobol and Natural. Programmers at time do not seem to care about grokking the features and apply them correctly. Actually I want to say "most programmers" and "a lot of times", but then I would be accused of generalisation. ;-)
I simply find it very frustrating dealing with programmers that does not simply love to write code. Programmers that see it as a mere job.
Someone once said that he never starts out to write beautiful code. But when he is done and the code is not beautiful and elegant (and simple), he knows he has screwed up.
In my experience.. many programmers will not understand this.

    It seems you are not doing a bulk insert but rather an array bind.
    (Which you will also find that it is problematic to do an INSERT with a bulk collect returning clause (while this works just fine for update/deletes) :
    http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=413)
    But you are using array bind, so you simply just need to use a
    ... Returning REQUEST_ID INTO :REQUEST_IDand that'll return you a Rquest_ID[]
    see below for a working example (I used a procedure but the result is the same)

    Well, of course. Java has to know what the sql projection is. How else will it know how many columns there are and their datatypes.

    No - using the 'table' function mean you are calling a PIPELINED function.
    This is a sample of a PIPELINED procedure.
    -- type to match emp record
    create or replace type emp_scalar_type as object
      (EMPNO NUMBER(4) ,
       ENAME VARCHAR2(10),
       JOB VARCHAR2(9),
       MGR NUMBER(4),
       HIREDATE DATE,
       SAL NUMBER(7, 2),
       COMM NUMBER(7, 2),
       DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
    -- table of emp records
    create or replace type emp_table_type as table of emp_scalar_type
    -- pipelined function
    create or replace function get_emp( p_deptno in number )
      return emp_table_type
      PIPELINED
      as
       TYPE EmpCurTyp IS REF CURSOR RETURN emp%ROWTYPE;
        emp_cv EmpCurTyp;
        l_rec  emp%rowtype;
      begin
        open emp_cv for select * from emp where deptno = p_deptno;
        loop
          fetch emp_cv into l_rec;
          exit when (emp_cv%notfound);
          pipe row( emp_scalar_type( l_rec.empno, LOWER(l_rec.ename),
              l_rec.job, l_rec.mgr, l_rec.hiredate, l_rec.sal, l_rec.comm, l_rec.deptno ) );
        end loop;
        return;
      end;
    select * from table(get_emp(20))Or your function could return a collection like the example from this thread this morning.
    Example of Collection as datatype of a function’s return value
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE enamelist as VARRAY(20) of VARCHAR2(20)

    Is there a way to iterate through a single cursor 50 rows at a time, bulk collect into a 50 element array, print them, bulk collect the next batch.
    Any idea or help?

    Here is a bulk-collect-limit example that got by googling:
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
    DECLARE
      TYPE t_bulk_collect_test_tab IS TABLE OF bulk_collect_test%ROWTYPE;
      l_tab    t_bulk_collect_test_tab;

        SELECT *
        FROM   bulk_collect_test;
    BEGIN
      OPEN c_data;
      LOOP
        FETCH c_data
        BULK COLLECT INTO l_tab LIMIT 10000; /*I think this is what you are looking for*/
        -- Process contents of collection here.
        DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(l_tab.count || ‘ rows’);
        EXIT WHEN c_data%NOTFOUND;
      END LOOP
      CLOSE c_data;

    2.  l_tab    t_bulk_collect_test_tab;

    MUSIC            ==> remote MUSIC_DB database, MUSIC table has 60 million rows
    PRICE_DATA ==> remote PRICING_DB database, PRICE_DATE table has 1 billion rows
    These two table once existed in same database, but size of database exceeded available hardware size and hardware budget, so the PRICE_DATA table was moved to another Oracle database.  I need to create a single report that combines data from both of these tables, and a distributed join with DRIVING_SITE hint will not work because the size of both table is too large to push to one DRIVING_SITE location, so I wrote this PLSQL block to process in small blocks.
    QUESTION: how can use bulk collect from one cursor and pass that bulk collected information as input to second cursor without specifically listing each cell of the PLSQL bulk collection?  See sample pseudo-code below, I am trying to determine more efficient way to code than hard-coding 100 parameter names into 2nd cursor.
    NOTE: below is truly pseudo-code, I had to change the names of everything to adhere to NDA, but below works and is fast enough for my purposes, but if I want to change from 100 input parameters to 200, I have to add more hard-coded values.  There has got to be a better way.

    I've got a problem when using passing VARRAY of numbers as parameter to remote cursor: it takes a super long time to run, sometimes doesn't finish even after an hour as passed.
    Continuing with my example in original entry, I replaced the bulk collect into PLSQL table collection with a VARRAY and i bulk collect into the VARRAY, this is fast and I know it works because I can DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE cells of VARRAY so I know it is getting populated correctly.  However, when I pass the VARRAY containing 100 cells populated with SONG_IDs as parameter to cursor, execution time is over an hour and when I am expecting a few seconds.
    Below code example strips the problem down to it's raw details, I skip the bulk collect and just manually populate a VARRAY with 100 SONG_ID values, then try to pass to as parameter to a cursor, but the execution time of cursor is unexpectedly long, over 30 minutes, sometime longer, when I am expecting seconds.
    IMPORTANT: If I take the same 100 SONG_IDs and place them directly in the cursor query's where IN clause, the SQL runs in under 5 seconds and returns result.  Also, if I pass the 100 SONG_IDs as individual cells of a PLSQL table collection, then it also runs fast.
    I thought that since the VARRAY is used via select subquery that is it queried locally, but the cursor is remote, and that I had a distribute problem on my hands, so I put in the DRIVING_SITE hint to attempt to force the result of query against VARRAY to go to remote server and rest of query will run there before returning result, but that didn't work either, still got slow response.
    Is something wrong with my code, or I am running into a Oracle problem that may require support to resolve?

  • Use of FOR Cursor and BULK COLLECT INTO

    Dear all,
    in which case we prefer to use FOR cursor and cursor with BULK COLLECT INTO? The following contains two block that query identically where one is using FOR cursor, the other is using BULK COLLECT INTO . Which one that performs better given in the existing task? How do we measure performance between these two?
    I'm using sample HR schema:
    declare
    l_start number;
    BEGIN
    l_start:= DBMS_UTILITY.get_time;
    dbms_lock.sleep(1);
    FOR employee IN (SELECT e.last_name, j.job_title FROM employees e,jobs j
    where e.job_id=j.job_id and  e.job_id LIKE '%CLERK%' AND e.manager_id > 120 ORDER BY e.last_name)
    LOOP
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Name = ' || employee.last_name || ', Job = ' || employee.job_title);
    END LOOP;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('total time: ' || to_char(DBMS_UTILITY.get_time - l_start) || ' hsecs');
    END;
    declare
    l_start number;
    type rec_type is table of varchar2(20);
    name_rec rec_type;
    job_rec rec_type;
    begin
    l_start:= DBMS_UTILITY.get_time;
    dbms_lock.sleep(1);
    SELECT e.last_name, j.job_title bulk collect into name_rec,job_rec FROM employees e,jobs j
    where e.job_id=j.job_id and  e.job_id LIKE '%CLERK%' AND e.manager_id > 120 ORDER BY e.last_name;
    for j in name_rec.first..name_rec.last loop
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Name = ' || name_rec(j) || ', Job = ' || job_rec(j));
    END LOOP;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('total time: ' || to_char(DBMS_UTILITY.get_time - l_start) || ' hsecs');
    end;
    /In this code, I put timestamp in each block, but they are useless since they both run virtually instantaneous...
    Best regards,
    Val

    If you want to get 100% benifit of bulk collect then it must be implemented as below
    declare
         Cursor cur_emp
         is
         SELECT     e.last_name, j.job_title
         FROM     employees e,jobs j
         where     e.job_id=j.job_id
                   and  e.job_id LIKE '%CLERK%'
                   AND e.manager_id > 120
         ORDER BY e.last_name;
         l_start number;
         type rec_type is table of varchar2(20);
         name_rec rec_type;
         job_rec rec_type;
    begin
         l_start:= DBMS_UTILITY.get_time;
         dbms_lock.sleep(1);
         /*SELECT e.last_name, j.job_title bulk collect into name_rec,job_rec FROM employees e,jobs j
         where e.job_id=j.job_id and  e.job_id LIKE '%CLERK%' AND e.manager_id > 120 ORDER BY e.last_name;
         OPEN cur_emp;
         LOOP
              FETCH cur_emp BULK COLLECT INTO name_rec LIMIT 100;
              EXIT WHEN name_rec.COUNT=0;
              FOR j in 1..name_rec.COUNT
              LOOP
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Name = ' || name_rec(j) || ', Job = ' || job_rec(j));

  • Issue in using Cursor+Dynamic SQL+ Bulk collect +FORALL

    Hi,
    I have a dynamic query which I need to use as a cursor to fetch records that inturn need to be inserted into a staging table.
    The issue I am facing is I am not sure how to declare the variable to fetch the records into. Since I am using a dynamic cursor how do I declare it?
    My code looks something like this -
    TYPE c_details_tbl_type IS REF CURSOR;
    c_details c_details_tbl_type;
    TYPE c_det_tbl_type IS TABLE OF c_details%ROWTYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
    c_det_tbl c_det_tbl_type; -- ???
    BEGIN
    v_string1 := 'SELECT....'
    v_string2 := ' UNION ALL SELECT....'
    v_string3 := 'AND ....'
    v_string := v_string1||v_string2||v_string3;
    OPEN c_details FOR v_string;
    LOOP
    FETCH c_details BULK COLLECT
    INTO c_det_tbl LIMIT 1000;
    IF (c_det_tbl.COUNT > 0) THEN
              DELETE FROM STG;
              FORALL i IN 1..c_det_tbl.COUNT
              INSERT INTO STG
              VALUES (c_det_tbl(i));
    END IF;
    EXIT WHEN c_details%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c_details;
    END
    Thanks

    Why the bulk collect? All that this does is slow down the read process (SELECT) and write process (INSERT).
    Data selected needs (as a collection) to be pushed into the PGA memory of the PL/SQL engine. And then that very same data needs to be pushed again by the PL/SQL engine back to the database to be inserted. Why?
    It is a lot faster, needs a lot less resources, with fewer moving parts, to simply instruct the SQL engine to do both these steps using a single INSERT..SELECT statement. And this can support parallel DML too for scalability when data volumes get large.
    It is also pretty easy to make a single SQL statement like this dynamic and even support bind variables.
    Simplicity is the ultimate form of elegance. Pushing data needlessly around is not simple and thus not a very elegant way to address the problem.

  • Bulk Collect taking more time. Please suggest .

    I am working on oracle 11g
    I have one normal insert proc
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test2
    AS
         BEGIN
         INSERT INTO first_table
         (citiversion, financialcollectionid,

    Can you please tell me the reason why bulk collect is taking more time. ? According to my knowledge it should take less time.
    Please suggect do i need to check any parameter?
    Please help.

    Please suggect do i need to check any parameter?In that case, your knowledge is flawed.
    Pure SQL is almost always faster than PL/SQL.
    If your Insert into Select is executing slow, then it is probably because the Select statement is taking long to execute. How many rows are being Selected and Inserted from your query?
    You might also consider tuning the Select statement. For more information on Posting a Tuning request, read {message:id=3292438} and post the relevant information.

  • Procedure failed while using bulk collect into clause and works with cursor

    hi all,
    I am using "BULK collect into" clause in my procedure and it is failing after 21 minutes and gives the error "end of file communication channel".
    after this error comes when i tried to connect database it is giving following error.

    when others then
    rollback;
    dbms_output.put_line('SQLCODE :'||sqlcode ||' Error :'||sqlerrm);
    end work_kiosk_full;
    Note : total record inserted 849000.
    The same code does not work with bulk collect into caluse.
    Please help me out why this is happening.
    Thanks & regards

    Shyam,
    I agree with Billy.
    Why are you not using an INSERT..SELECT ?
    Also, what are you trying to achieve by
    - incremental commits?
    - copying data from one table to another (using expensive I/O)?
    - using dynamic DML?
    Most of these approaches are typically wrong - and not recommended for scalable and performant Oracle applications.I could see you using a CURSOR FOR LOOP if you were changing the data being inserted in such a way that you couldn't encapsulate the changes in a query, but you are doing a straight insert into the table from your Cursor. A much more efficient way would be to use the following modifications I made to your code example:
    PROCEDURE WORK_KIOSK_FULL(AN_JOBID   IN NUMBER,
                              AC_SQLCODE OUT VARCHAR2,
                              AC_SQLERRM OUT VARCHAR2) IS
    BEGIN
       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'truncate table crstools.drt_bom_work_kiosk';
       /* Note:  The APPEND hint forces a Direct Path INSERT (see Link below code sample) and is combined with the NOLOGGING Hint */
       /*        To dramtically increase performance.  The Direct Path INSERT inserts records above the High-Water Mark on the table. */
       INSERT /*+ APPEND NOLOGGING */ INTO CRSTOOLS.DRT_BOM_WORK_KIOSK

    Also, if you are truly intent on using a CURSOR FOR LOOP with the BULK COLLECT, I suggest you read Steven Feuerstein's article [PL/SQL Practices: On BULK COLLECT |http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/08-mar/o28plsql.html].
    Hope this helps.

  • How to call BULK COLLECT using JDBC in JSP?

    Hi
    I am using BULK COLLECT instead of CURSOR in my Stored Procedure.
    How to use these stuff in JDBC.
    If i am using CURSOR means
    cs.registerOutParameter(1,oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleTypes.CURSOR);
    is used.
    Which types i have to use?
    I am retriving morethan one record using FOR. LOOP in SP and before that
    BULK COLLECT is used in SELECT query..
    Can you give jsp code for this?
    Thanks

    you may find related sample jdbc code on otn - http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html

  • Which is better??? for loop or bulk collect

    declare
    cursor test is
    select * from employees;
    begin
    open test;
    loop
    exit when test%notfound;
    fetch test into myvar_a(i); CASE A
    i:=i+1;
    end loop;
    close test;
    open test;
    fetch test bulk collect into myvar_b; CASE B
    close test;
    end;
    Which case is better?? A or B?
    Edited by: Kakashi on May 31, 2009 12:54 AM

    Depends on the meaning of better.
    Generally case B should be faster although a bit more elaborate code is required.
    But there may be exceptions. I think I read somewhere (I'm home now and I cannot find it at the moment) that in 10g (or 11g - not sure) 100 rows at a time are pre-fetched behind scenes even when you use case A. So using case B with a low limit could well be slower.
    If I can express an additional opinion case F(irst) is nearly always the best i.e. plain SQL (no loops at all). I'm aware that sometimes it cannot be used, but should be the first approach to be tried.

    Hey Tom, love the site. I noticed in your first fetch, which was in the first for loop that did an unconditional exit:
    2 for x in ( select rownum r, t1.* from big_table.big_table t1 )
    3 loop
    4 exit;
    5 end loop;
    In looking at the TKPROF output for that query, it shows the number of rows being fetched as 100. Does that prove / demonstrate the bulk collecting optimization that Oracle added in 10g, where it implicitly and automatically does a bulk collect of limit 100 behind the scenes?
    This came up at a discussion at my site very recently, and I think I can just point them to your example here as a demo rather than creating my own. I assume that if you ran the same thing in 9iR2, then that first fetch of rows in TKPROF would only show 1?
    Followup April 18, 2007 - 1pm US/Eastern:
    yes, that demonstrates the implicit array fetch of 100 rows...
    in 9i, it would show 1 row fetched.
