Need help with Bulk Collect ForAll Update

Question

Hi - I'm trying to do a Bulk Collect/ForAll Update but am having issues.
My declarations look like this:
     CURSOR cur_hhlds_for_update is
        SELECT hsh.household_id, hsh.special_handling_type_id
          FROM compas.household_special_handling hsh
             , scr_id_lookup s
         WHERE hsh.household_id = s.id
           AND s.scr = v_scr
           AND s.run_date = TRUNC (SYSDATE)
           AND effective_date IS NULL
           AND special_handling_type_id = 1
           AND created_by != v_user;
     TYPE rec_hhlds_for_update IS RECORD (
          household_id  HOUSEHOLD_SPECIAL_HANDLING.household_id%type,
          spec_handl_type_id HOUSEHOLD_SPECIAL_HANDLING.SPECIAL_HANDLING_TYPE_ID%type
     TYPE spec_handling_update_array IS TABLE OF rec_hhlds_for_update;
     l_spec_handling_update_array  spec_handling_update_array;And then the Bulk Collect/ForAll looks like this:
       OPEN cur_hhlds_for_update;
       LOOP
        FETCH cur_hhlds_for_update BULK COLLECT INTO l_spec_handling_update_array LIMIT 1000;
        EXIT WHEN l_spec_handling_update_array.count = 0;
        FORALL i IN 1..l_spec_handling_update_array.COUNT
        UPDATE compas.household_special_handling
           SET effective_date =  TRUNC(SYSDATE)
             , last_modified_by = v_user
             , last_modified_date = SYSDATE
         WHERE household_id = l_spec_handling_update_array(i).household_id
           AND special_handling_type_id = l_spec_handling_update_array(i).spec_handl_type_id;
          l_special_handling_update_cnt := l_special_handling_update_cnt + SQL%ROWCOUNT;         
      END LOOP;And this is the error I'm receiving:
ORA-06550: line 262, column 31:
PLS-00436: implementation restriction: cannot reference fields of BULK In-BIND table of records
ORA-06550: line 262, column 31:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 263, column 43:
PL/SQL: ORA-22806: not an object or REF
ORA-06550: line 258, column 9:
PL/SQL: SQMy problem is that the table being updated has a composite primary key so I have two conditions in my where clause. This the the first time I'm even attempting the Bulk Collect/ForAll Update and it seems like it would be straight forward if I was only dealing with a single-column primary key. Can anyone please help advise me as to what I'm missing here or how I can accomplish this?
Thanks!

Answer 1

You cannot reference a column inside a record when doin a for all. You need to refer as a whole collection . So you will need two collections.
Try like this,
DECLARE
   CURSOR cur_hhlds_for_update
   IS
      SELECT hsh.household_id, hsh.special_handling_type_id
        FROM compas.household_special_handling hsh, scr_id_lookup s
       WHERE hsh.household_id = s.ID
         AND s.scr = v_scr
         AND s.run_date = TRUNC (SYSDATE)
         AND effective_date IS NULL
         AND special_handling_type_id = 1
         AND created_by != v_user;
   TYPE arr_household_id IS TABLE OF HOUSEHOLD_SPECIAL_HANDLING.household_id%TYPE
                               INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
   TYPE arr_spec_handl_type_id IS TABLE OF HOUSEHOLD_SPECIAL_HANDLING.SPECIAL_HANDLING_TYPE_ID%TYPE
                                     INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
   l_household_id_col         arr_household_id;
   l_spec_handl_type_id_col   arr_spec_handl_type_id;
BEGIN
   OPEN cur_hhlds_for_update;
   LOOP
      FETCH cur_hhlds_for_update
        BULK COLLECT INTO l_household_id_col, l_spec_handl_type_id_col
      LIMIT 1000;
      EXIT WHEN cur_hhlds_for_update%NOTFOUND;
      FORALL i IN l_household_id_col.FIRST .. l_household_id_col.LAST
         UPDATE compas.household_special_handling
            SET effective_date = TRUNC (SYSDATE),
                last_modified_by = v_user,
                last_modified_date = SYSDATE
          WHERE household_id = l_household_id_col(i)
            AND special_handling_type_id = l_spec_handl_type_id_col(i);
   --l_special_handling_update_cnt := l_special_handling_update_cnt + SQL%ROWCOUNT; -- Not sure what this does.
   END LOOP;
END;G.
