Or may be the person who create this sample has done something like this:

create or replace procedure get_time(t out number) as
begin
t:=dbms_utility.get_time;
end;
/

In his/her own schema. That would, for instance, make the procedure right. If the person who has created the example is an experienced PL/SQL programmer, it is very likely that she or he has certain helper procedures in her or his own schema. Anyway, the procedure illustrates FORALL and FOREACH clauses very well. I don't find that to be a big deal. On the other hand, on the oracle mailing list the debate about Oracle Untested Infuriator (OUI) is just subsiding.
