BULK COLLECT


Tim Hall of oracle-base.com fame explores the BULK COLLECT feature of PL/SQL, which allows you to retrieve multiple rows with a single fetch. Note that Tim's article also covers FORALL, which is for multi-row, non-query DML (inserts, updates, deletes) and will be explored in a separate workout. After you read his article and check out the documentation, it's time to take four quizzes written by Steven Feuerstein to test your knowledge of this feature.
