Hi Experts,

when i was exploring FORALL in oracle i got the following error
I executed a sample block as follows.

BEGIN
FORALL i IN 1 ..10
dbms_output.put_line('hi');
END;

ORA-06550: line 3, column 2:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "DBMS_OUTPUT" when expecting one of the following:

* & - + / at mod remainder rem select update with
<an exponent (**)> delete insert || execute multiset save
merge
The symbol "*" was substituted for "DBMS_OUTPUT" to continue.
ORA-06550: line 3, column 28:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ";" when expecting one of the following:

. ( * % & - + / at mod remainder rem select update with
<an exponent (**)> delete insert || execute save merge

FORALL is used in conjunction with DML.

As Pablolee said,

the best use of all is

One e.g.,

if u want to insert into multiple tables then "ALL" will be useful.

insert ALL
followed by the statements...

The op is talking about FORALL (i.e. in the context of BULK processing in PL/SQL) not INSERT ALL (in the context of multi table inserts in SQL)

I am waiting for an answer from you that is appropriate for the question or does not just repeat what others have already said.

@joy_division,

Yes,my answer was absolutely out of context .Instead of reading the actual post and giving the answer, I commented on Pablolee comment and write down some thing irrelevant to the situation.

That's were I went wrong Embarassed

As for this one: http://www.orafaq.com/forum/mv/msg/97048/299317/102589/#msg_299317 and many others of your posts.
Please think about what you post BEFORE posting.
Also read the whole topic and don't (badly) repeat the same answer.

1. No. Use FOR ... LOOP and not FORALL
2. Use RETURNING INTO clause of insert statement.

Hi,

My procedure is as follows,in one procedure call the cursor may fetch more than 2000 records and altogether at times 3 lakh insert may happen.
PROCEDURE proc_orders(p_id NUMBER, id NUMBER, va_new_person_id type_va_numbers,
                      va_new_meeting_id type_va_numbers, va_new_orders_id OUT type_va_numbers)
 IS
  CURSOR cur_orders IS SELECT * FROM orders_test WHERE meeting_id = id;
  CURSOR cur_orders_misc IS SELECT * FROM orders_test WHERE meeting_id = 0 AND person_id = p_id;-- orders_misc
  n_ord_id NUMBER;
  n_ord_seq NUMBER;
  n_ord_cntr NUMBER := 1;
  v_code VARCHAR2(10);
  v_errm VARCHAR2(100);
  type ty_orders is table of orders_test%ro
 BEGIN
  

  IF n_order_flag = 0 THEN
   FOR k IN cur_orders_misc 
   LOOP
    va_new_orders_id := type_va_numbers();
    -- loop iterates for new person_id times to populate records into orders table
	FOR n_ord_misc_lcntr IN 1..va_new_person_id.COUNT
    LOOP
     SELECT seq_orders.NEXTVAL INTO n_ord_seq FROM dual;
     va_new_orders_id.extend;
     va_new_orders_id(n_ord_cntr) := n_ord_seq;
     n_ord_cntr := n_ord_cntr+1;
     n_ord_id := k.order_id;
     INSERT INTO orders_test VALUES(    
     n_ord_seq, k.order_info,k.order_description);
    END LOOP;
    n_order_flag := 1; 
    proc_log('orders',n_ord_id,'nil', n_ord_cntr-1);
    proc_order_detail(n_ord_id, va_new_orders_id);
    n_ord_cntr := 1;
   END LOOP;
  END IF;
  FOR i IN cur_orders
  LOOP 
   va_new_orders_id := type_va_numbers();
   -- loop iterates for new encountere_id times to populate records into orders table
   FOR n_ord_lcntr IN 1..va_new_meeting_id.COUNT
   LOOP
    SELECT seq_orders.NEXTVAL INTO n_ord_seq FROM dual;

   END LOOP;
   proc_log('orders',n_ord_id,'nil', n_ord_cntr-1);
   proc_order_detail(n_ord_id, va_new_orders_id);
   n_ord_cntr := 1;
  END LOOP;
 EXCEPTION
  WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
   v_code := SQLCODE;
   v_errm := SQLERRM;
   proc_errlog('orders',n_ord_id,v_code,v_errm);
  WHEN OTHERS THEN
   v_code := SQLCODE;
   v_errm := SQLERRM;
   proc_errlog('orders',n_ord_id,v_code,v_errm);
 END proc_orders;

1. can i execute statements other than DML
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is allowed too, but I don't encourage its use. Here's a small example:
DECLARE
   TYPE t_tab IS TABLE OF NUMBER;

   v_tab   t_tab;
BEGIN
   -- fill my array
   SELECT     LEVEL
   BULK COLLECT INTO v_tab
   FROM       DUAL
   CONNECT BY LEVEL < 11;
   
   -- use a bulk loop:
   FORALL i IN 1..v_tab.COUNT
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'Begin dbms_output.put_line(''Hi ''||:a);End;' Using v_tab(i);
END;
Michel has already hinted about fetching the values from the insert.

This bears no resemblance to the original question. Please restate EXACTLY what your question is. But before you do, please read and follow The posting guidelins especially the formatting bit.
