Is it possible for all detail tables be updated without using a cursor. can u explain with example. "Kennedy, Jim" <jim_kennedy@men To: <manoj.gurnani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> tor.com> cc: Subject: RE: PL/SQL question 09/28/2005 07:02 PM I don't see why you are using execute immediate. I think you could do it all in one sql statement. To quote Mr. Kyte "Row by row is slow by slow". I think you have over complicated it.

The details tables have large volume of data and some have about 30 recs for each ref_num in cursor. This script has to be run .Can performance be increased. I've tested this for 3000 recs in cursor and with lesser volume of data in detail table. time taken is 25 min.
