1st paragraph |
The introductory paragraph about bulk binds states: "Collections of records cannot be
a target of a BULK COLLECT INTO clause." This is false as of version 9 release 2.
From the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference (of 10g):
"When you query all the columns of a table, you can store the entire result set in a
collection of records, which makes it convenient to loop through the results and
refer to different columns:
SELECT * FROM employees BULK COLLECT INTO all_employees;
FOR i IN all_employees.FIRST .. all_employees.LAST
LOOP
...
END LOOP;"

search for "populate a single associative array of records".
