Hi,

I want to pass an OCI bind array of size 20 to a stored PL/SQL function with a defined input parameter defined as a varray.

The intension is to reduce network trafic (via bind array), pre processes each array element in the PL/SQL function and perform a FORALL bulk insert/update/delete against the database to reduce the number of context switches between the SQL and PL/SQL components, claimed to be a factor of 10 faster than non-bulk operations.

My questions are:
1. is it possible to have a varray on a pl/sql input parameter?
2. does an oci bind array map to a varray?
3. do you have an example?

Any help or opinions would be gratefully accepted.

Kind regards

Michael
