LAB 18.2
The BULK COLLECT Clause
LAB OBJECTIVE
After completing this lab, you will be able to
.
Use the BULK COLLECT clause
The BULK COLLECT clause fetches the batches of results and brings them back from SQL to
PL/SQL. For example, consider a cursor against the STUDENT table that returns the student’s
ID, first name, and last name. After this cursor is opened, the rows are fetched one by one until
all of them have been processed. Then this cursor is closed. These steps are illustrated in the
following example:
FOR EXAMPLE
DECLARE
CURSOR student_cur IS
SELECT student_id, first_name, last_name
FROM student;
BEGIN
FOR rec IN student_cur LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('student_id: '||rec.student_id);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('first_name: '||rec.first_name);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('last_name: '||rec.last_name);
END LOOP;
END;
Recall that the cursor FOR loop opens and closes the cursor and fetches cursor records implicitly.
The same task of fetching records from the STUDENT table can be accomplished by employing
the BULK COLLECT clause. The difference here is that the BULK COLLECT clause fetches all
rows from the STUDENT table at once. Because BULK COLLECT fetches multiple rows, these
rows are stored in collection variables.
Consider a modified version of the previous example, in which the cursor processing is replaced
by the BULK COLLECT clause:

TYPE first_name_type IS TABLE OF student.first_name%TYPE;
TYPE last_name_type IS TABLE OF student.last_name%TYPE;
student_id_tab student_id_type;
first_name_tab first_name_type;
last_name_tab last_name_type;
BEGIN
Fetch all student data at once via BULK COLLECT clause
SELECT student_id, first_name, last_name
BULK COLLECT INTO student_id_tab, first_name_tab, last_name_tab
FROM student;
FOR i IN student_id_tab.FIRST student_id_tab.LAST
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('student_id: '||student_id_tab(i));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('first_name: '||first_name_tab(i));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('last_name: '||last_name_tab(i));
END LOOP;
END;
This script declares three nested table types and variables. These variables are used to store data
returned by the SELECT statement with the BULK COLLECT clause.
DID YOU KNOW?
When nested tables are populated using the SELECT BULK COLLECT INTO statement, they are initial-
ized and extended automatically. Recall that typically a nested table must be initialized prior to its
use by calling a constructor function that has the same name as its nested table type. After it has
been initialized, it must be extended using the EXTEND method before the next value can be
assigned to it.
To display this data, the collections are looped through using a numeric FOR loop. Note how
lower and upper limits for the loop counter are specified using the FIRST and LAST methods.
The BULK COLLECT clause is similar to a cursor loop in that it does not raise a NO_DATA_
FOUND exception when the SELECT statement does not return any records. As a result, it is
considered a good practice to check if a resulting collection contains any data.
Because the BULK COLLECT clause does not restrict the size of a collection and extends it auto-
matically, it is also a good idea to limit the result set when a SELECT statement returns large

amounts of data. This can be achieved by using BULK COLLECT with a cursor SELECT and by
adding the LIMIT option.
FOR EXAMPLE
DECLARE
CURSOR student_cur IS
SELECT student_id, first_name, last_name
FROM student;
Define collection type and variables to be used by the
BULK COLLECT clause
TYPE student_id_type IS TABLE OF student.student_id%TYPE;
TYPE first_name_type IS TABLE OF student.first_name%TYPE;
TYPE last_name_type IS TABLE OF student.last_name%TYPE;
student_id_tab student_id_type;
first_name_tab first_name_type;
last_name_tab last_name_type;
Define variable to be used by the LIMIT clause
v_limit PLS_INTEGER := 50;
BEGIN
OPEN student_cur;
LOOP
Fetch 50 rows at once
FETCH student_cur
BULK COLLECT INTO student_id_tab, first_name_tab,
last_name_tab
LIMIT v_limit;
EXIT WHEN student_id_tab.COUNT = 0;
FOR i IN student_id_tab.FIRST student_id_tab.LAST
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('student_id: '||student_id_tab(i));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('first_name: '||first_name_tab(i));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('last_name: '||last_name_tab(i));
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
CLOSE student_cur;
END;
This script employs a BULK COLLECT clause with the LIMIT option to fetch 50 rows from the
STUDENT table at once. In other words, each collection contains, at most, 50 records. To
accomplish this, the BULK COLLECT clause is used in conjunction with the cursor loop. Note
LAB 18.2

The BULK COLLECT Clause

that in this case, the loop’s exit condition is based on the number of records in the collection
rather than the
student_cur%NOTFOUND attribute.
Note how the numeric FOR loop that displays information on the screen has been moved inside
the cursor loop. This is done because every new batch of 50 records fetched by the BULK
COLLECT replaces the previous batch of 50 records fetched in the previous iteration.
So far you have seen examples of the BULK COLLECT clause fetching data into collections
where the underlying elements are simple data types such as NUMBER or VARCHAR2.
However, the BULK COLLECT clause can be used to fetch data into collections of records or
objects. Collections of objects are discussed in Chapter 23, “Object Types in Oracle.” Consider
a modified version of the previous example, in which student data is fetched into a collection of
user-defined records:
FOR EXAMPLE
DECLARE
CURSOR student_cur IS
SELECT student_id, first_name, last_name
FROM student;
Define record type
TYPE student_rec IS RECORD
(student_id student.student_id%TYPE,
first_name student.first_name%TYPE,
last_name student.last_name%TYPE);
Define collection type
TYPE student_type IS TABLE OF student_rec;
Define collection variable
student_tab student_type;
Define variable to be used by the LIMIT clause
v_limit PLS_INTEGER := 50;
BEGIN
OPEN student_cur;
LOOP
Fetch 50 rows at once
FETCH student_cur BULK COLLECT INTO student_tab LIMIT v_limit;
EXIT WHEN student_tab.COUNT = 0;
FOR i IN student_tab.FIRST student_tab.LAST
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
('student_id: '||student_tab(i).student_id);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
('first_name: '|| student_tab(i).first_name);

FOR EXAMPLE (continued)
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
('last_name: '|| student_tab(i).last_name);
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
CLOSE student_cur;
END;
So far you have seen how to use the BULK COLLECT clause with the SELECT statement.
However, often BULK COLLECT is used with the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements
as well. In this case, the BULK COLLECT clause is used in conjunction with the RETURNING
clause, as shown here:
FOR EXAMPLE
DECLARE
Define collection types and variables
TYPE row_num_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
TYPE row_text_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
row_num_tab row_num_type;
row_text_tab row_text_type;
BEGIN
DELETE FROM TEST
RETURNING row_num, row_text
BULK COLLECT INTO row_num_tab, row_text_tab;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Deleted '||SQL%ROWCOUNT ||' rows:');
FOR i IN row_num_tab.FIRST row_num_tab.LAST
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('row_num = '||row_num_tab(i)||
' row_text = ' ||row_text_tab(i));
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
This script deletes records from the TEST table created in Lab 18.1. Note that the DELETE state-
ment returns ROW_NUM and ROW_TEXT values using the RETURNING clause. These values
are then fetched by the BULK COLLECT clause into two collections, row_num_tab and
row_text_tab, which are displayed on the screen.
When run, this script produces the following output:
Deleted 7 rows:
row_num = 2 row_text = row 2

row_num = 4 row_text = row 4
row_num = 6 row_text = row 6
row_num = 8 row_text = row 8
row_num = 9 row_text = row 9
row_num = 10 row_text = row 10

Throughout this chapter you have seen how to use the FORALL statement and BULK COLLECT
clause. Next, consider an example that combines both. This example is based on the script
ch18_1a.sql, which selects some data from the ZIPCODE table and inserts it into the
MY_ZIPCODE table. Changes are shown in bold.
FOR EXAMPLE
DECLARE
Declare collection types
TYPE string_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
TYPE date_type IS TABLE OF DATE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;

zip_tab string_type;
city_tab string_type;
state_tab string_type;
cr_by_tab string_type;
cr_date_tab date_type;
mod_by_tab string_type;

v_counter PLS_INTEGER := 0;
v_total INTEGER := 0;
BEGIN

LAB 18.2 EXERCISES
This section provides exercises and suggested answers, with discussion related to how those answers
resulted. The most important thing to realize is whether your answer works.You should figure out the
implications of the answers and what the effects are of any different answers you may come up with.
18.2.1 Use the BULK COLLECT Statement
In this exercise, you create various scripts that select and modify data in the MY_INSTRUCTOR table in
bulk.
Create the MY_INSTRUCTOR table as follows. If this table already exists, drop it and then re-create it.
CREATE TABLE my_instructor AS
SELECT *
FROM instructor;
Complete the following tasks:
A) Create the following script: Select the instructor ID, first name, and last name from the
MY_INSTRUCTOR table, and display them on the screen. Note that the data should be fetched
in bulk.
ANSWER: This script should look similar to the following:
ch18_2a.sql, version 1.0
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE

BULK COLLECT clause
TYPE instructor_id_type IS TABLE OF
my_instructor.instructor_id%TYPE;
TYPE first_name_type IS TABLE OF my_instructor.first_name%TYPE;

instructor_id_tab instructor_id_type;
first_name_tab first_name_type;
last_name_tab last_name_type;

SELECT instructor_id, first_name, last_name
BULK COLLECT INTO instructor_id_tab, first_name_tab,
last_name_tab
FROM my_instructor;
FOR i IN instructor_id_tab.FIRST instructor_id_tab.LAST
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('instructor_id: '||instructor_id_tab(i));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('first_name: '||first_name_tab(i));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('last_name: '||last_name_tab(i));
END LOOP;
END;
The declaration portion of this script contains definitions of three collection types and variables.
The executable portion of the script populates collection variables using the SELECT statement
with the BULK COLLECT clause. Finally, it displays on the screen data stored in the collection
variables by looping through them.
When run, this script produces the following output:
instructor_id: 101
first_name: Fernand
last_name: Hanks
instructor_id: 102
first_name: Tom
last_name: Wojick
instructor_id: 103
first_name: Nina

As mentioned previously, the BULK COLLECT clause is similar to the cursor loop in that it does not
raise a NO_DATA_FOUND exception when the SELECT statement does not return any rows.
Consider deleting all the rows from the MY_INSTRUCTOR table and then executing this script
again. In this case the output is as follows:
SQL> DELETE FROM my_instructor;
10 rows deleted.
SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SQL> DECLARE

last_name_tab
FROM my_instructor;
IF instructor_id_tab.COUNT > 0 THEN
FOR i IN instructor_id_tab.FIRST instructor_id_tab.LAST
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('instructor_id:
'||instructor_id_tab(i));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('first_name: '||first_name_tab(i));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('last_name: '||last_name_tab(i));
END LOOP;
END IF;
END;
This version of the script contains an IF-THEN statement that encloses the FOR loop.The IF-THEN
statement checks if one of the collections is nonempty, thus preventing the numeric or value
error.
WATCH OUT!
If you have deleted records from the MY_INSTRUCTOR table, you need to roll back your changes or
populate it with the records from the INSTRUCTOR table again before proceeding with the exercise.
B) Modify the newly created script as follows: Fetch no more than five rows at a time from the
MY_INSTRUCTOR table.
