Compare sql and dynamic sql

For a large number of sql statements w/c contain a pattern, for example:

        insert into foo_1 values (1, one);
        insert into foo_2 values (2, two);
        insert into foo_3 values (3, three);
        ...
        insert into foo_n values (n, n);

Someone had claimed that the above execution is faster than any means like using stored procedures with pl/sql OR dynamic sql OR native dynamic sql.

Can anyone explain any reason why using stored procedures would be slower.

Is there any overhead using dynamic sql over straight sql???

In any case, can anyone refer me to a document that will explain in some details how dynamic sql execute internally.

Thanks in advance for any help. Received on Thu Sep 30 1999 - 00:00:00 CEST
