using pl/sql with update is very slow. much slower than just sql. so only use if you absolutely have to.

i avoid it at all costs.

RE: full usefulness of CURRENT OF          ???



Try with a complicated where clause where your where_clause is a page long ...

Subject: full usefullness of CURRENT OF ???


Could anyone give us an idea as to the full usefullness
of CURRENT OF?  Here are my two separate examples:


/*   1  this one has a CURRENT OF  */

DECLARE

    CURSOR  EmpCursor  IS
            SELECT  *
            FROM    Emp
            FOR     UPDATE;

BEGIN
     FOR EmpRec IN EmpCursor LOOP

         UPDATE EMP
         SET    SALARY = SALARY * 1.08
         WHERE  CURRENT OF EmpCursor

     END LOOP;

END;


/*   2 same as above, except without the CURRENT OF   */
DECLARE

   CURSOR  EmpCursor  IS
           SELECT  *
           FROM    Emp
           FOR     UPDATE;

BEGIN
     FOR EmpRec IN EmpCursor LOOP

         UPDATE EMP
         SET    SALARY = SALARY * 1.08
         WHERE  EMP_ID = EmpRec.Emp_ID;

     END LOOP;

END;
/


Is one more efficient than the other? If I could have done
business without the CURRENT OF, then why did oracle made
it available?

thx
maa
