Abstract
When using the ForAll command instead of For…Loop and variables of data collection type (index Table, Varray, Nested Table) in PL/SQL , ForAll sends a part of the data collection to the SQL server, but not individual elements. In this scenario the necessary time for creating the table decreases , in case that the size of the group varies.
