Now I have two arrays. I want to insert or update into table using these two arrays. How can I do that with out using the loops? Is there any bulk insert or update?

Answer 1

If you have PL/SQL associative arrays, you can use bulk processing to insert the data into underlying database tables using FORALL.

The oracle documantation is here:

The syntax is similar to:

FORALL x IN INDICES OF <associative_array_name>
   -- DML (INSERT or UPDATE etc)

It’s a bit of a generic answer but you have asked a very generic question.

Hope this helps…
