In principle, there is no reason why a FORALL would make this quicker. Fetching
data from sql into plsql to then drive other sql should be avoided.
Best approach *should* be a single MERGE statement, no loops.
But there are always caveats and exceptions.

Hello
I have a plsql procedure which contains a complex cursor and a couple of
update statements using the cursor output, it looks like
begin
for indx in (complex query)
loop
if indx.c10 = 'NO' then
update t1
set c3 = c2 + c4
where c1 = indx.c1
and c2 = indx.c2;
else
update t1
set c5 = c7 + c8
where c1 = indx.c1
and c2 = indx.c2
end if;
end loop;
end;
/
The cursor (join of 7 tabls and a few EXISTS subqueries) returns aproximately
2 million rows and the process is not as fast as desired. I was looking into
FORALL to improve this procedure but I cannot find a way due to the
conditional updates (two different update statements). Anyone's got an idea
if FORALL can be implemented in such situations?
Thank you very much
Alex
