Michel Cadot-

Why you have the urge to insult anyone who posts something you don't like? I don't mean correct them, but insult them. I have seen your answers questions that go beyond "read the documentation", calling people idiotsor after someone answers someone elses question you chime in with a snarky remark.

I suggest you cut it out before people on the boards realize what a jerk you are (if they haven't already).

FORALL ix IN t_person.first .. t_person.lAST
UPDATE ARCHIVEA
SET SSN = ssn(ix),
IDENTIFR = IDENTIFR(ix),
FULL_NAME = full_name(ix),
FIRST_MIDDLE_NAME = first_middle_name(ix),
LAST_NAME = last_name(ix),
DOB = dob(ix),
ADDRESS_1 = address_1(ix),
ADDRESS_2 = address_2(ix),
CITY = city(ix),
STATE = state(ix),
ZIP_ = zip_(ix)
WHERE ID =ID(ix) ;
/

It keeps telling me that ID is invalid.

forall ix IN t_person.first .. t_person.last 
      UPDATE archivea 
      SET    ssn = t_person(ix).ssn, 
             identifr = t_person(ix).identifr , 
             full_name = t_person(ix).full_name, 
             first_middle_name = t_person(ix).first_middle_name , 
             last_name = t_person(ix).last_name , 
             dob = t_person(ix).dob , 
             address_1 = t_person(ix).address_1 , 
             address_2 = t_person(ix).address_2 , 
             city = t_person(ix).city , 
             state = t_person(ix).state , 
             zip_ = t_person(ix).zip_ 
      WHERE  id = t_person(ix).id;

do not use PL/SQL when the same can be done in plain SQL.

>WHERE ID =ID(ix) ;
how can above ever be valid syntax?

If I could do it in plain SQL I would- we are talking about 220,000,000 rows.

I am also not sure what you mean by
WHERE ID =ID(ix) being invalid;
I am saying this update should be on a row where the id matches the id from the collection. I took this directly from Feuerstein. I've done bulk collects before but I am missing something here.
