Esteemed monks,
Is it possible to do a FORALL INSERT from Perl? I've tried writing a procedure, but binding my arrayref of arrayrefs fails. Also, from reading this:
Returning A Recordset ^
DBD::Oracle does not currently support binding a PL/SQL table (aka array) as an IN OUT parameter to any Perl data structure. You cannot therefore call a PL/SQL function or procedure from DBI that uses a non-atomic data type as either a parameter, or a return value. However, if you are using Oracle 9.0.1 or later, you can make use of table (or pipelined) functions.
To the best of my understanding, a FORALL-style INSERT requires binding a PL/SQL table - and this is impossible? Or have I misunderstood something here?
How do others insert massive amounts of data to Oracle tables? The constraints are that
- The app needs the generated IDs afterwards.
- Table must be fully available during insert.
- There may be several processes inserting into the same table at the same time.
I'm currently attempting execute_array, and that doesn't give very much improvement - maybe 5%. Before I decide that the app needs more IO, implementing FORALL INSERT is a prerequisite. So, any help is greatly appreciated!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
