Re: share a new 11gR2 feature

This same functionality has been available since 10g (I believe) using DBMS_ERRLOG<http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_errlog.htm#BABGGCDF>. In short, an error table is created and all the rows that error out are inserted there. Which of course allows you to do set operations instead of row-by-row. You'll still have to figure what to do with those errors (if anything).
