for example i used a global temporary table..lets be any table am populating using a bulk collect.My point was that BULK COLLECT is used to populated PL/SQL collections, not tables.
exceptions which i'm refering are like..in 100 records for 65 and 68th record some columns has junk values,so it wont get insert into the resultant table..as a result the bulk collect will fail.i want to handle this type of exception so that other 98 records gets inserted without rollingback.You could incorporate something into your SQL to 'correct' the data if it can be corrected, or you could incorporate something in the SQL to 'detect' where values are junk and not insert those rows, then have another SQL that picks out rows with 'junk' values so you can report on them.
There should be very little need to be loading data into expensive PGA memory or looping through row by row (slow by slow) for each record, to try and capture exceptions.
Better still do some SQL analysis on the data, determine what data has 'junk' in it and then get it fixed at source, and then implement something (or get whoever to do that) so that no more junk data can be entered.
