Disadvantage of limit in bulk collection

hi,
Is there any disadvantage to use limit in bulk collect?
and please clear me advantage of limit also.
I am great confusion that if i don't write limit in bulk collect then too its working fine then wats' the need of limit?

actually i was getting below error,thats why i want to limit adv/disadv.
I hav posted it also.
please telle me where sud i correct my code.
In 2nd limit option if i m decreasing limit to 10000 or 5k(less then 50k ) then its working fine.
my cursor c & cmain contains around 5 lac records.
error-
ORA-22165: given index [32768] must be in the range of [1] to [32767].
i am using bulk collecrt & forall,as in below senerio.
declare
cursor cmain is...
type <collectionType> is table of tablename%rowtype;
<collectionvariable> <collectionType>;
begin
declare
cursor c1 .....
type <collectionType> is table of tablename%rowtype;
<collectionvariable> <collectionType>;
begin
open c1;
loop
fetch c1 into <collectionvariable2> limit 50000;
forall i in 1 .. <collectionVariable1>.count
stmnt....
EXIT WHEN C1%NOTFOUND;
end loop;
close c1;
COMMIT;
end;
open cmain;
loop
fetch cmain into <collectionVariable2> limit 50000;
forall i in 1 .. <collectionVariable2>.count
stmnt....
EXIT WHEN CMAIN%NOTFOUND;
end loop;
close cmain;
COMMIT;
end

  • How to decide the limit in bulk collect clause

    Hi,
    we have got a pl/sql application which is performing mass DML including bulk insert,update and merge over millions of data.Now i am little bit confused in deciding the LIMIT in bulk collect clause.is there any way from which i can decide the optimal limit for my bulk collect clause.and i want to know what are the key factors that affects the limit in bulk collect.
    eargerly waiting for ur reply...
    thanx

    Hello,
    Check this example out and it might help you. All depends how much memory you want to allocate to do this job, you have to experiment to find optimal value (see memory consumption, speed of pl/sql block). There is no formula for finding optimal value as every system is configured differently, so once you have to see how is your oracle parameter (memory related ) configured and monitor system while this is running. I had used 500 for aroun 2.8 million rows.

  • Why bulk collect ,bulk update are faster?

    Hi all gurus,
    I have one doubt ,all of us knows that bulk collect is faster but i want to know why it is faster? what is mechanism behind that?
    what oracle does internally so that it works faster?
    thanks in advance

    Example for Bulk Collect.
    DECLARE
    TYPE myvar2 IS TABLE OF a%ROWTYPE; -- Creating a Pl/SQL table
    CURSOR c1
    IS
    SELECT *
    FROM a; -- Declaring a cursor
    myvar1 myvar2; -- Declaring a PL/SQL Table variable.
    BEGIN
    OPEN c1;
    Here is a finding when using 'LIMIT' clause in 'BULK COLLECT' statement.
    Example :
    Note : Table EMP has 15 records.
    CASE #1:
    SQL> SELECT COUNT (*)
    FROM emp;
    COUNT(*)
    15
    DECLARE
    TYPE numtab IS TABLE OF NUMBER
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    CURSOR c1
    IS
    SELECT empno
    FROM emp;
    empnos numtab;
    ROWS NATURAL := 10;
    BEGIN
    OPEN c1;
    LOOP
    /* The following statement fetches 10 rows (or less). */
    FETCH c1
    BULK COLLECT INTO empnos LIMIT ROWS;
    EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
    FORALL i IN empnos.FIRST .. empnos.LAST
    DELETE FROM emp
    WHERE empno = empnos (i);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c1;
    END;
    Observation : When the above code segment is run the total records deleted will be only 10 as shown below.
    SQL> SELECT COUNT (*)
    FROM emp;
    COUNT(*)
    5
    Since the statement 'EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND' executes before the DML statement (DELETE in this case),
    the loop terminates as soon as the cursor (C1) has the rowcount(5 rows) less than the LIMIT count(10 rows).
    CASE #2:
    SQL> SELECT COUNT (*)
    FROM emp;
    COUNT(*)
    15
    DECLARE
    TYPE numtab IS TABLE OF NUMBER
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    CURSOR c1
    IS
    SELECT empno
    FROM emp;
    empnos numtab;
    ROWS NATURAL := 10;
    BEGIN
    OPEN c1;
    LOOP
    /* The following statement fetches 10 rows (or less). */
    FETCH c1
    BULK COLLECT INTO empnos LIMIT ROWS;
    FORALL i IN empnos.FIRST .. empnos.LAST
    DELETE FROM emp
    WHERE empno = empnos (i);
    EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c1;
    END;
    Observation : When the above code segment is run the total records deleted will be 15 as shown below.
    SQL> SELECT COUNT (*)
    FROM emp;
    COUNT(*)
    0
    Since the statement 'EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND' executes after the DML statement (DELETE in this case),
    the loop terminates after executing the DML & deletes the rest of the 5 records also and exits.
    Conclusion :
    When handling 'LIMIT' with 'BULK COLLECT INTO' statements, better to use the statement
    'EXIT WHEN <cursorname>%NOTFOUND' after the DML statement.
    And also use the following way with set of statements:
    Declare
    Type Numtab Is Table Of Number
    Index By Binary_Integer;
    Cursor C1
    Is
    Select Empno
    From Emp;
    Empnos Numtab;
    Rows Natural := 10;
    Tot_Recs Number;
    Begin
    Open C1;
    Loop
    /* The Following Statement Fetches 10 Rows (Or Less). */
    Fetch C1
    Bulk Collect Into Empnos Limit Rows;
    If Msagrmnt%rowcount > Tot_Recs
    Then
    For I In Empnos.First .. Empnos.Last
    Loop
    -- Here We Can Include Set Of Pl/sql Stmts And We May Store Other Values Into
    -- Pl/sql Table And Then Insert Into The Table (For Both Cursor Selection Values And Other Selection Values As Below)
    End Loop;
    Forall I In Empnos.First..Empnos.Last
    Insert Into Empno1 Values … Ie Pl/sql Table Variables;
    End If;
    Tot_Recs := C1%rowcount;
    Exit When C1%notfound;
    End Loop;
    Close C1;
    End;

  • Need to increase performance-bulk collect in cursor with limit and in the for loop inserting into the trigger table

    Hi all,
    I have a performance issue in the below code,where i am trying to insert the data from table_stg into target_tab and in parent_tab tables and then to child tables via cursor with bulk collect .the target_tab and parent_tab are huge tables and have a row wise trigger enabled on it .the trigger is mandatory . This timetaken for this block to execute is 5000 seconds.Now my requirement is to reduce it to 5 to 10 mins.
    can someone please guide me here.Its bit urgent .Awaiting for your response.

    Its bit urgent
    NO - it is NOT urgent. Not to us.
    If you have an urgent problem you need to hire a consultant.
    I have a performance issue in the below code,
    Maybe you do and maybe you don't. How are we to really know? You haven't posted ANYTHING indicating that a performance issue exists. Please read the FAQ for how to post a tuning request and the info you need to provide. First and foremost you have to post SOMETHING that actually shows that a performance issue exists. Troubleshooting requires FACTS not just a subjective opinion.
    where i am trying to insert the data from table_stg into target_tab and in parent_tab tables and then to child tables via cursor with bulk collect .the target_tab and parent_tab are huge tables and have a row wise trigger enabled on it .the trigger is mandatory . This timetaken for this block to execute is 5000 seconds.Now my requirement is to reduce it to 5 to 10 mins.
    Personally I think 5000 seconds (about 1 hr 20 minutes) is very fast for processing 800 trillion rows of data into parent and child tables. Why do you think that is slow?
    Your code has several major flaws that need to be corrected before you can even determine what, if anything, needs to be tuned.
    This code has the EXIT statement at the beginning of the loop instead of at the end
        FETCH stg_cursor BULK COLLECT INTO v_rt_all_cols LIMIT limit_in;
                  vstep_no  := '4';
                  vtable_nm := 'after fetch';
    --EXIT WHEN v_rt_all_cols.COUNT = 0;
        EXIT WHEN stg_cursor%NOTFOUND;
    The correct place for the %NOTFOUND test when using BULK COLLECT is at the END of the loop; that is, the last statement in the loop.
    You can use a COUNT test at the start of the loop but ironically you have commented it out and have now done it wrong. Either move the NOTFOUND test to the end of the loop or remove it and uncomment the COUNT test.
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      ROLLBACK;
    That basically says you don't even care what problem occurs or whether the problem is for a single record of your 10,000 in the collection. You pretty much just throw away any stack trace and substitute your own message.
    Your code also has NO exception handling for any of the individual steps or blocks of code.
    The code you posted also begs the question of why you are using NAME=VALUE pairs for child data rows? Why aren't you using a standard relational table for this data?
    As others have noted you are using slow-by-slow (row by row processing). Let's assume that PL/SQL, the bulk collect and row-by-row is actually necessary.
    Then you should be constructing the parent and child records into collections and then inserting them in BULK using FORALL.
    1. Create a collection for the new parent rows
    2. Create a collection for the new child rows
    3. For each set of LIMIT source row data
      a. empty the parent and child collections
      b. populate those collections with new parent/child data
      c. bulk insert the parent collection into the parent table
      d. bulk insert the child collection into the child table
    And unless you really want to either load EVERYTHING or abandon everything you should use bulk exception handling so that the clean data gets processed and only the dirty data gets rejected.

  • Bulk collect limit 1000 is looping only 1000 records out of 35000 records

    In below code I have to loop around 35000 records for every month of the year starting from Aug-2010 to Aug-2011.
    I am using bulk collect with limit clause but the problem is:
    a: Limit clause is returning only 1000 records.
    b: It is taking too much time to process.

  • Bulk Collect into is storing less no of rows in collection when using LIMIT?

    I have written the following anonymous PL SQL Block.

    As you can see, it didn't print last batch. Why? Because NOTFOUND is set to true if exact number of rows you asked to fetch was not fetched. So last batch has 4 rows while code asks to fetch 5. Therefore, NOTFOUND is set to true and code exits before processing that last batch. So you have to repeat processing code again outside the loop:

    But you must agree repeating that processing code twice isn't best solution. When using BULK COLLECT LIMIT we should exit not by NOTFOUND but rather by collection.count = 0:

  • Doubt about Bulk Collect with LIMIT

    Hi
    I have a Doubt about Bulk collect , When is done Commit
    I Get a example in PSOUG

Your code implements some business transaction, right? So if you commit before whole trancaction (from business standpoint) is complete other sessions will already see changes that are (from business standpoint) incomplete. Also, what if rest of trancaction (from business standpoint) fails?

  • How to handle the bad record while using bulk collect with limit.

    Hi
    How to handle the Bad record as part of the insertion/updation to avoid the transaction.
    Example:
    I am inserting into table with LIMIT of 1000 records and i've got error at 588th record.
    i want to commit the transaction with 588 inserted record in table and log the error into
    error logging table then i've to continue with transaction with 560th record.
    Can anyone suggest me in this case.
    Regards,

  • Good bulk collect limit

    I wrote a plsql procedure using bulk collect / forall
    The procedure uses bulk collect to fetch from a normal cursor, Then I am using for all to insert into
    target table, The number of rows are 234965470
    Question:
    What should ideally be the limit for my bulk collect ?
    According to below, it should be in hundreds
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1583402705463
    I put a bulk collect limit of 50000 - took close to 2 hours
    then i tried 10000 - just 3 mins shorter than the above time
    But if you commit every 500 rows, Then is there not another theory that frequent commits is not good ?

    user650888 wrote:
    What should ideally be the limit for my bulk collect ?The answer to that is, What Does a Bulk Collect Do?
    And no, it is a fallacy that it makes SQL faster. It does not. Never did. Never will.
    A bulk process reduces the number of calls that need to be made to the SQL engine. In PL/SQL that is called context switching as the PL and SQL engines are tightly coupled.
    If for example, the SQL cursor outputs a 1000 rows and single row fetches are used, a 1000 calls or context switches are required, for transferring the row data from the one engine to the other. If a bulk processing of a 100 is for example used, then only 10 context switches are needed. That is a significant reduction in context switches.
    If you do a 1000 row bulk collect, only 1 context switch is needed. That is a barely noticeable difference in the time between 1 and 10 context switches. So using a bulk limit of a 1000 will not improve performance at all versus a 100 row limit.
    There is a price for this - bulk processing needs to use very expensive private process memory on the server. Oracle calls this the PGA. Consider the difference in memory between a 100 limit and a 1000 limit. 10x more PGA is needed for a 1000 limit - and no real performance gains result as there is a negligible reduction in context switches.
    A 100 limit is often bandied around as the bulk collect limit that is the best. That is not really true. If the rows are very small, impact on the PGA is less severe - a higher limit can make sense.
    Likewise, if the rows are very large (100+ large columns fetched), then a 100 limit can make an unreasonable demand on PGA... which will quickly become a bad performance situation when a bunch of clients all execute this code at the same time.
    So the sweet spot for a bulk limit typically varies between 10 and a 1000.
    I put a bulk collect limit of 50000 - took close to 2 hours
    then i tried 10000 - just 3 mins shorter than the above timeThis is just plain wrong. As you've seen, you are not improving performance at all. In fact, your code can cause severe performance problems on the server due to the high demand on private process memory being made, and the increase in work of the swap daemons that need to keep up with this demand.
    Bulk processing DOES NOT INCRESASE SQL performance. This is important to understand. The ONLY THING that it does, is to reduce the number of calls between the SQL and PL/SQL engines.
    But if you commit every 500 rows, Then is there not another theory that frequent commits is not good ?That is not just plain wrong, but an idiotic approach. A commit is work. Why do you want to add more work to the process and expect that to increase performance?

  • BULK COLLECT LIMIT affects performance in any way?

    Hi,
    I want to know whether BULK COLLECT LIMIT affects performance in any way?
    How does one decide what limit to keep?
    is there a oracle recommendation on the same?

    I agree with Bonist that you should read Tom's article but I am going to disagree, to a minor extent, with Tom's comment about 100 rows.
    When developing with BULK COLLECT I always add a parameter to stored procedures that is used to tune the limit clause Then when the code goes to unit testing, and at the beginning of integrated unit testing, the value is varied and the results graphed. For final testing the parameter is dropped. The number I hard code for production is the value at the left side of the top of the bell curve.
    What I find is that 100 is sometimes the right number butI have one app I developed recently where 50,000 was the right number (11gR1). As with almost everything Oracle the best answer is always that "it depends." In the case where 50K is the best solution the server has 32G of RAM, and everything processed is an SMS message averaging only 79 bytes.

  • Bulk collect / forall which collection type?

    Hi I am trying to speed up the query below using bulk collect / forall:
    SELECT h.cust_order_no AS custord, l.shipment_set AS sset
    FROM info.tlp_out_messaging_hdr h, info.tlp_out_messaging_lin l
    WHERE h.message_id = l.message_id
    AND h.contract = '12384'
    AND l.shipment_set IS NOT NULL
    AND h.cust_order_no IS NOT NULL
    GROUP BY h.cust_order_no, l.shipment_set
    I would like to extract the 2 fields selected above into a new table as quickly as possible, but I’m fairly new to Oracle and I’m finding it difficult to sort out the best way to do it. The query below does not work (no doubt there are numerous issues) but hopefully it is sufficiently developed to shows the sort of thing I am trying to achieve:
    DECLARE
    TYPE xcustord IS TABLE OF info.tlp_out_messaging_hdr.cust_order_no%TYPE;
    TYPE xsset IS TABLE OF info.tlp_out_messaging_lin.shipment_set%TYPE;
    TYPE xarray IS TABLE OF tp_a1_tab%rowtype INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    v_xarray xarray;
    v_xcustord xcustord;
    v_xsset xsset;
    CURSOR cur IS
    SELECT h.cust_order_no AS custord, l.shipment_set AS sset
    FROM info.tlp_out_messaging_hdr h, info.tlp_out_messaging_lin l
    WHERE h.message_id = l.message_id
    AND h.contract = '1111'
    AND l.shipment_set IS NOT NULL
    AND h.cust_order_no IS NOT NULL;
    BEGIN
    OPEN cur;
    LOOP
    FETCH cur
    BULK COLLECT INTO v_xarray LIMIT 10000;
    EXIT WHEN v_xcustord.COUNT() = 0;
    FORALL i IN 1 .. v_xarray.COUNT
    INSERT INTO TP_A1_TAB (cust_order_no, shipment_set)
    VALUES (v_xarray(i).cust_order_no,v_xarray(i).shipment_set);
    commit;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE cur;
    END;
    I am running on Oracle 9i release 2.

    Well I suppose I can share the whole query as it stands for context and information (see below).
    This is a very ugly piece of code that I am trying to improve. The advantage it has currently is
    that it works, the disadvantage it has is that it's very slow. My thoughts were that bulk collect
    and forall might be useful tools here as part of the re-write hence my original question, but perhaps not.
    So on a more general note any advice on how best speed up this code would be welcome:

  • Opening two cursors using open cursor with bulk collect on colections ..

    Is it possible to have the implementatiion of using bulk collect with collections using two open cursors ..
    first c1
    second c2
    open c1
    loop
    open c2
    loop
    end loop
    close c2
    end loop;
    close c1
    what i found is for every outer loop of cursor c1 , cursor c2 is open and closed for every record.
    is this willl imporove the performace .?

    How to use bulk in multiple cursors !!
    ;-)

  • Can I use Bulk Collect results as input parameter for another cursor

    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?

  • How to improve performance using bulk collects with plsql tables or arrays

    Hi All,
    my procedure is like this
    declare
    cursor c1 is select ----------------------
    begin
    assigning to variables
    validations on that variables
    --50 validations are here --
    insert into a table
    end;
    we have created indexes on primary keys,
    i want to use
    DECLARE
    CURSOR a_cur IS
    SELECT program_id
    FROM airplanes;
    TYPE myarray IS TABLE OF a_cur%ROWTYPE;
    cur_array myarray;
    BEGIN
    OPEN a_cur;
    LOOP
    FETCH a_cur BULK COLLECT INTO cur_array LIMIT 100;
    ***---------can i assign cursor data to the plsql table variables or array***
    ***validate on the pl sql variable as---***
    i
    nsert into a table
    EXIT WHEN a_cur%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE a_cur;
    END;
    Edited by: Veekay on Oct 21, 2011 4:28 AM

    Fastest way often is this:
    insert /*+append */
    into aTable
    select * from airplanes;
    commit;The select and insert part can even be done in parallel if needed.
    However if the oparation is complex or the dataset is very very very very very large or the programmer is decent but not excellent then the bulk approach should be considered. It is often a pretty stable and linear scaling approach.
    The solution depends a little on the database version.
    LOOP
      FETCH a_cur BULK COLLECT INTO cur_array LIMIT 100;
      EXIT WHEN a_cur.count = 0;
      forall i in a_cur.first.. a_cur.last
      insert into aTable (id)
      values (a_cur(i));
    END LOOP;
    ...If you have more then one column then you might need a single collection for each column. Other possibilities depend on the db version.
    Also: do not exit using a_cur%NOTFOUND. This is wrong! You might loose records from the end of the data set.

  • 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...

         l_start number;
         type rec_type is table of varchar2(20);
         name_rec rec_type;
         job_rec rec_type;
    begin

         OPEN cur_emp;

              FETCH cur_emp BULK COLLECT INTO name_rec LIMIT 100;
