second bulleted item |
The second bulleted item was, unfortunately, completely wrong.
It now reads:
"The invoker rights model checks the directly-granted
privileges assigned to the invoker at the time of program
execution to resolve any external references to database
objects (but not PL/SQL program units). Even with invoker
rights, however, roles are ignored."

The results are as follows... |
Replace the text after the paragraph beginning "The results are as follows..." with the following text:
Single row fetch 10000 Elapsed: .37 seconds.
BULK COLLECT 10000 Elapsed: .05 seconds.
Single row fetch 100000 Elapsed: 4.1 seconds.
BULK COLLECT 100000 Elapsed: .64 seconds.
Single row fetch 200000 Elapsed: 9.82 seconds.
BULK COLLECT 200000 Elapsed: 1.27 seconds.
Single row fetch 1000000 Elapsed: 46.8 seconds.
BULK COLLECT 1000000 Elapsed: 8.99 seconds.
Again, we see significant improvements in performance. Notice, however,
that the elapsed time difference between row-by-row fetches and BULK
COLLECT diminishes as the number of rows processed grows. This
undoubtedly has to do with the overhead of caching large volumes of
data before passing them back to the calling program.

code sample |
The code sample on this page did read:
*****************
DECLARE
mystr VARCHAR2(10);
yourstr VARCHAR2(10) := 'Toronto';
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
TRIM (LEADING 'x' FROM 'xyzabc'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
TRIM (TRAILING 'cb' FROM 'xyzabc'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
TRIM (BOTH 'x1' FROM '1x1yzabc111x'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
TRIM ('x1' FROM '1x1yzabc111x'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
TRIM (mystr FROM yourstr));
END;
/
*****************
Now reads:
*****************
DECLARE
mystr VARCHAR2(10);
yourstr VARCHAR2(10) := 'Toronto';
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
TRIM (LEADING 'x' FROM 'xyzabc'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
TRIM (TRAILING 'c' FROM 'xyzabcccc'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
TRIM (BOTH 'x' FROM 'x1yzabc111x'));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (
NVL (TRIM (mystr FROM yourstr), 'NULL'));
END;
/
