Having problem using BULK COLLECT - FORALL

Question

Hi,
I'm facing a problem while setting a table type value before inserting into a table using FORALL.
My concern is that i'm unable to generate the values in FOR LOOP, as by using dbms_output.put_line i observed that after 100 rows execution the process exits giving error as
ORA-22160: element at index [1] does not exist
ORA-06512: at "XYZ", line 568
ORA-06512: at line 2
I need to use the values stored in FOR LOOP in the same order for insertion in table TEMP using FOR ALL;
I'm guessing that i'm using the wrong technique for storing values in FOR LOOP.
Below given is my SP structure.
Any suggestion would be hepful.
Thanks!!
create or replace procedure XYZ
cursor cur is
select A,B,C,D from ABCD; ---expecting 40,000 row fetch
type t_A is table of ABCD.A%type index by pls_integer;
type t_B is table of ABCD.B%type index by pls_integer;
type t_C is table of ABCD.C%type index by pls_integer;
type t_D is table of ABCD.D%type index by pls_integer;
v_A t_A;
v_B t_B;
v_C t_C;
v_D t_D;
type t_E is table of VARCHAR2(100);
type t_F is table of VARCHAR2(100);
v_E t_E := t_E();
v_F t_F := t_F();
begin
open cur;
loop
fetch cur BULK COLLECT INTO v_A,v_B,v_C,v_D limit 100;
for i in 1 .. v_A.count loop
v_E.extend(i);
select 1111 into v_E(i) from dual;
v_F.extend(i);
v_F(i) := 'Hi !!';
----calculating v_E(i) and v_F(i) here----
end loop;
forall in i in 1 .. v_A.count
insert into table TEMP values (v_E(i), v_F(i));
exit when cur%NOTFOUND;
end loop;
close cur;
end;

The problem is that inside the IF ELSIF blocks i need to query various tables..As I thought. But why did you concentrate on BULK COLLECT - FORALL?
The cursor whereas does take more time to execute.More time then?
We have join of two tables have 18,00,000(normal table) and >17,92,2067(MView) records, having inidex on one the join column.
After joining these two and adding the filter conditions i'm having around >40,000 >rows.? You have a cursor row. And then inside the loop you have a query which returns 40'000 rows? What do you do with that data?
Is the query you show running INSIDE the loop?
I guess you still talk about the LOOP query and your are unhappy that it is not taking an index?
1. The loop is NOT the problem. It's the "... i need to query various tables"
2. ORACLE is ok when it's NOT taking the index. That is faster!!
3. If you add code and execution plans, please add tags. Otherwise it's unreadable.
Try to merge your LOOP query with the "various tables" and make ONE query out of 40000*various ;-)
