FOR ALL

FORALL bulk_index IN lower_bound..upper_bound [SAVE EXCEPTIONS]
   {EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_statement | sql_statement };

When PL/SQL processes this statement, the whole collection, instead of each individual collection element, is sent to the database server for processing. You can use FOR ALL, as well as BULK COLLECT INTO, with the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE syntax for dynamic SQL.

Keywords

bulk_index

Integer variable. Can be used only in the sql_statement and only as a collection index (subscript).

lower_bound..upper_bound

Limits of elements in the collection that will be processed by the database engine.

SAVE EXCEPTIONS

Allows bulk processing to continue even if errors on individual operations fail. The details of these failures are available in SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS after the loop has completed processing
