Questions related to efficient DML in procedure/functions

I have 2 questions regarding performance of PL/SQL script when executing DML. Ofcourse the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
is the slowest one thats why we have forall
, bulk
insert etc. My Questions are
- I have to manipulate data in 3 different tables.
Table1
(insert data),Table2
(update data) andTable3
delete data. All of these would be done based on the values fetched using a cursor. the question is what would be more efficient here?- Putting each of these statements in individual
Forall
block? i.e.
- Putting each of these statements in individual
fetch cursor loop forall loop for table 1 forall loop for table 2 forall loop for table 3 end loop
OR
- a global loop and execute these statments in that loop i.e.
fetch cursor loop for i IN array.count loop 3 statements for DML end loop end loop
Now my second question
- what is the efficient way to delete records in loop? I fetched the values of the records to be deleted through the cursor. now what would be the efficient way to delete them?
P.S: Execuse my formatting

The most efficient approach would be to write three SQL statements, assuming the data fetched from the cursor is stable over the period of time that the procedure is running
INSERT INTO table1( list_of_columns )
<<your SELECT statement>>
UPDATE table2
SET (<<list of columns>>) = (<<your SELECT statement joined to table2>>)
WHERE EXISTS( <<your SELECT statement joined to table2>> );
DELETE FROM table3
WHERE EXISTS( <<your SELECT statement joined to table3>> );
If the SELECT
statement will potentially return different results in each of the three DML statements, then it makes sense to accept the performance hit of using a cursor, bulk collecting the data into PL/SQL collections, and looping over the collections in order to ensure consistent results. If that's what you're doing, it will be more efficient to have three FORALL
statements since that involves fewer context shifts between the SQL and PL/SQL engines.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Wouldn't you just do a FORALL
loop just as you would for an INSERT
or an UPDATE
FORALL i IN l_array.first .. l_array.last
DELETE FROM some_table
WHERE some_key = l_array(i);
Or are you asking a different question?
