FORALL 用法小结

FORALL 用法小结:
作者:sonic
  本文主要翻译、整理了ORACLE官方文档上有关FORALL的部份内容,不妥之处,还希望多和大家交流。
在发送语句到SQL引擎前,FORALL语句告知PL/SQL 引擎批挷定输入集合。尽管FORALL语句包含一个迭代(iteration)模式,它并不一是个FOR循环。其语法为:
  FORALL index IN lower_bound..upper_bound sql_statement;


一、如何使用批挷定提高性能(How Do Bulk Binds Improve Performance)
  在PL/SQL 和SQL引擎(engines)中,太多的上下文切换(context switches)会影响性能。这个会发生在当一个循环为集合中的每个元素执行一个单个SQL语句时。而使用批挷定能显著提高性能。下图显示PL/SQL引擎 和SQL引擎之间的context switches:(PL/SQL引擎执行存过语句仅发送SQL语句到SQL引擎,SQL引擎执行语句后返回数据给PL/SQL引擎)
  PL/SQL引擎发送一次SQL语句给SQL引擎,在SQL引擎中则为范围中每个index数字执行一次SQL语句。
  PL/SQL挷定操作包含以下三类:
  in-bind: When a PL/SQL variable or host variable is stored in the database by an INSERT or UPDATE statement.
  out-bind:When a database value is assigned to a PL/SQL variable or a host variable by the RETURNING clause of an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement.
  define: When a database value is assigned to a PL/SQL variable or a host variable by a SELECT or FETCH statement.
  在SQL语句中,为PL/SQL变量指定值称为挷定(binding),
  DML语句能传递所有集合元素到一个单个操作中,这过程称为批挷定(bulk binding)。
  如果集合有20个元素,批挷定让你用单个操作等效于执行与20个SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE或DELETE语句。这个技术通过减少在PL/SQL和SQL引擎(engines)间的上下文切换来提高性能。批挷定包括:
  1.带INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE语句的批挷定:在FORALL语句中嵌入SQL语句
  2.带SELECT语句的批挷定:在SELECT语句中用BULK COLLECT 语句代替INTO
  下边的例子分别用FOR和FORALL进行数据插入,以显示用批挷定的对性能的提高:

SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SQL> CREATE TABLE parts (pnum NUMBER(4), pname CHAR(15));
Table created.
SQL> DECLARE
2 TYPE NumTab IS TABLE OF parts.pnum%TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
3 TYPE NameTab IS TABLE OF parts.pname%TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
4 pnums NumTab;
5 Pnames NameTab;
6 t1 NUMBER;
7 t2 NUMBER;
8 t3 NUMBER;
9 BEGIN
10 FOR i IN 1..500000 LOOP
11 pnums(i) := i;
12 pnames(i) := 'Part No.'||to_char(i);
13 END LOOP;
14 t1 := dbms_utility.get_time;
15
16 FOR i IN 1..500000 LOOP
17 INSERT INTO parts VALUES(pnums(i),pnames(i));
18 END LOOP;
19 t2 := dbms_utility.get_time;
20
21 FORALL i IN 1..500000
22 INSERT INTO parts VALUES(pnums(i),pnames(i));
23 t3 := dbms_utility.get_time;
24
25 dbms_output.put_line('Execution Time (secs)');
26 dbms_output.put_line('---------------------');
27 dbms_output.put_line('FOR loop: ' || TO_CHAR(t2 - t1));
28 dbms_output.put_line('FORALL: ' || TO_CHAR(t3 - t2));
29 END;
SQL> /
Execution Time (secs)
---------------------
FOR loop: 2592
FORALL: 358
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed

  从而可以看出FORALL语句在性能上有显著提高。
  注释:SQL语句能涉及多个集合,然而,性能提高只适用于下标集合(subscripted collections)
二、FORALL 如何影响回滚(How FORALL Affects Rollbacks)
  在FORALL语句中,如果任何SQL语句执行产生未处理的异常(exception),先前执行的所有数据库改变都会被回滚。然而,如果产生的异常被捕获并处理,则回滚改变到一个隐式的保存点,该保存点在每个SQL语句执行前被标记。之前的改变不会被回滚。例如:

CREATE TABLE emp2 (deptno NUMBER(2), job VARCHAR2(15));
INSERT INTO emp2 VALUES(10, 'Clerk');
INSERT INTO emp2 VALUES(10, 'Clerk');
INSERT INTO emp2 VALUES(20, 'Bookkeeper'); -- 10-char job title
INSERT INTO emp2 VALUES(30, 'Analyst');
INSERT INTO emp2 VALUES(30, 'Analyst');
Comit;
DECLARE
TYPE NumList IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
depts NumList := NumList(10, 20, 30);
BEGIN
FORALL j IN depts.FIRST..depts.LAST
UPDATE emp2 SET job = job || ' (temp)'
WHERE deptno = depts(j);
-- raises a "value too large" exception
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
COMMIT;
END;
/
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
SQL> select * from emp2;
DEPTNO JOB
---------- ---------------
10 Clerk temp
10 Clerk temp
20 Bookkeeper
30 Analyst
30 Analyst

  
上边的例子SQL引擎执行UPDATE语句3次,指定范围内的每个索引号一次。第一个(depts(10))执行成功,但是第二个(depts(20))执行失败(插入值超过了列长),因此,仅仅第二个执行被回滚。
  当执行任何SQL语句引发异常时,FORALL语句中断(halt)。上边的例子中,执行第二个UPDATE语句引发异常, 因此第三个语句不会执行。
三、用%BULK_ROWCOUNT 属性计算FORALL迭代影响行数
  在进行SQL数据操作语句时,SQL引擎打开一个隐式游标(命名为SQL),该游标的标量属性(scalar attribute)有 %FOUND, %ISOPEN, %NOTFOUND, and %ROWCOUNT。
  FORALL语句除具有上边的标量属性外,还有个复合属性(composite attribute):%BULK_ROWCOUNT,该属性具有索引表(index-by table)语法。它的第i个元素存贮SQL语句(INSERT, UPDATE或DELETE)第i个执行的处理行数。如果第i个执行未影响行,%bulk_rowcount (i),返回0。FORALL与%bulk_rowcount属性使用相同下标。例如:

DECLARE
TYPE NumList IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
depts NumList := NumList(10, 20, 50);
BEGIN
FORALL j IN depts.FIRST..depts.LAST
UPDATE emp SET sal = sal * 1.10 WHERE deptno = depts(j);
-- Did the 3rd UPDATE statement affect any rows?
IF SQL%BULK_ROWCOUNT(3) = 0 THEN ...
END;

  %ROWCOUNT 返回SQL语句所有执行处理总的行数
  %FOUND和 %NOTFOUND仅与SQL语句的最后执行有关,但是,可以使用%BULK_ROWCOUNT推断单个执行的值,如%BULK_ROWCOUNT(i)为0时,%FOUND和%NOTFOUND分别是FALSE和TRUE。
四、用%BULK_EXCEPTIONS属性处理FORALL异常
  在执行FORALL语句期间,PL/SQL提供一个处理异常的机制。该机制使批挷定(bulk-bind)操作能保存异常信息并继续执行。方法是在FORALL语句中增加SAVE EXCEPTIONS关键字。语法为:
  FORALL index IN lower_bound..upper_bound SAVE EXCEPTIONS
    {insert_stmt | update_stmt | delete_stmt}
  执行期间引发的所有异常都被保存游标属性 %BULK_EXCEPTIONS中,它存贮一个集合记录,每记录有两个字段:
  %BULK_EXCEPTIONS(i).ERROR_INDEX:存贮在引发异常期间FORALL语句迭代(重复:iteration)
  %BULK_EXCEPTIONS(i).ERROR_CODE:存贮相应的Oracle错误代码
  %BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT存贮异常的数量。(该属性不是%BULK_EXCEPTIONS集合记录的字段)。如果忽略SAVE EXCEPTIONS,当引发异常时,FORALL语句停止执行。此时,SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT 返回1, 且SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS只包含一条记录。如果执行期间无异常 SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT 返回 0.例子:

DECLARE
TYPE NumList IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
num_tab NumList := NumList(10,0,11,12,30,0,20,199,2,0,9,1);
errors NUMBER;
dml_errors EXCEPTION;
PRAGMA exception_init(dml_errors, -24381);
BEGIN
FORALL i IN num_tab.FIRST..num_tab.LAST SAVE EXCEPTIONS
DELETE FROM emp WHERE sal > 500000/num_tab(i);
EXCEPTION
WHEN dml_errors THEN
errors := SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT;
dbms_output.put_line('Number of errors is ' || errors);
FOR i IN 1..errors LOOP
dbms_output.put_line('Error ' || i || ' occurred during '||
'iteration ' || SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS(i).ERROR_INDEX);
dbms_output.put_line('Oracle error is ' ||
SQLERRM(-SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS(i).ERROR_CODE));
END LOOP;
END;


该例子中,当i等于2,6,10时,产生异常ZERO_DIVIDE,完成后SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS.COUNT为3,其值为(2,1476), (6,1476)和(10,1476),错误输出如下:
  

Number of errors is 3
  Error 1 occurred during iteration 2
  Oracle error is ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
  Error 2 occurred during iteration 6
  Oracle error is ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
  Error 3 occurred during iteration 10
  Oracle error is ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero


五、用BULK COLLECT子句取回查询结果至集合中
  在返回到PL/SQL引擎之前,关键字BULK COLLECT告诉SQL引擎批挷定输出集合。该关键字能用于SELECT INTO, FETCH INTO和RETURNING INTO语句中。语法如下:
  ... BULK COLLECT INTO collection_name[, collection_name] ...


示例1:

DECLARE
TYPE NumTab IS TABLE OF emp.empno%TYPE;
TYPE NameTab IS TABLE OF emp.ename%TYPE;
enums NumTab; -- no need to initialize
names NameTab;
BEGIN
SELECT empno, ename BULK COLLECT INTO enums, names FROM emp;
...
END;
示例2:
CREATE TYPE Coords AS OBJECT (x NUMBER, y NUMBER);
CREATE TABLE grid (num NUMBER, loc Coords);
INSERT INTO grid VALUES(10, Coords(1,2));
INSERT INTO grid VALUES(20, Coords(3,4));
DECLARE
TYPE CoordsTab IS TABLE OF Coords;
pairs CoordsTab;
BEGIN
SELECT loc BULK COLLECT INTO pairs FROM grid;
-- now pairs contains (1,2) and (3,4)
END;
示例3:
DECLARE
TYPE SalList IS TABLE OF emp.sal%TYPE;
sals SalList;
BEGIN
SELECT sal BULK COLLECT INTO sals FROM emp
WHERE ROWNUM <= 100;
...
END;
示例4:Examples of Bulk Fetching from a Cursor:
DECLARE
TYPE NameList IS TABLE OF emp.ename%TYPE;
TYPE SalList IS TABLE OF emp.sal%TYPE;
CURSOR c1 IS SELECT ename, sal FROM emp WHERE sal > 1000;
names NameList;
sals SalList;
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
FETCH c1 BULK COLLECT INTO names, sals; --可返回到一个或多个集合
END;
示例5:Examples of Bulk Fetching from a Cursor:
DECLARE
TYPE DeptRecTab IS TABLE OF dept%ROWTYPE;
dept_recs DeptRecTab;
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT deptno, dname, loc FROM dept WHERE deptno > 10;
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
FETCH c1 BULK COLLECT INTO dept_recs; --返回到一个记录(records)集合
END;



六、用LIMIT 子句限制批取出操作行
  LIMIT子句可限制从数据库中取出的行数。该子句仅能用于批(非标量 not scalar)FETCH语句.语法为:
  FETCH ... BULK COLLECT INTO ... [LIMIT rows];
  rows可以是文字的(literal),变量(variable)或表达式(expression),但必须返回一个数字。否则,PL/SQL引发预定义异常VALUE_ERROR,如果为负数,PL/SQ引发INVALID_NUMBER。如果需要,PL/SQL四舍五入(round)为最近的整数.
  下例中,在每个循环迭代中,FETCH语句返回到索引表empnos中,先前的值会被覆盖。

DECLARE
TYPE NumTab IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
CURSOR c1 IS SELECT empno FROM emp;
empnos NumTab;
rows NATURAL := 10;
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
LOOP
/**//* The following statement fetches 10 rows (or less). */
FETCH c1 BULK COLLECT INTO empnos LIMIT rows;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
...
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
END;



七、用RETURNING INTO子句取回DML结果至集合
  你能在INSERT、UPDATE或DELETE语句的RETURNING INTO子句中使用BULK COLLECT子句。(注意,此处是没有SELECT语句的)

DECLARE
TYPE NumList IS TABLE OF emp.empno%TYPE;
enums NumList;
BEGIN
DELETE FROM emp WHERE deptno = 20
RETURNING empno BULK COLLECT INTO enums;
-- if there were five employees in department 20,
-- then enums contains five employee numbers
END;



八、BULK COLLECT上的限制
  1.You cannot bulk collect into an associative array that has a string type for the key. .
  2.BULK COLLECT语句只能用于服务器端(server-side),而非客户端
  3.在BULK COLLECT INTO语句中的所有目标必须是集合,如下例:

DECLARE
TYPE NameList IS TABLE OF emp.ename%TYPE;
names NameList;
salary emp.sal%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT ename, sal BULK COLLECT INTO names, salary -- illegal target
FROM emp WHERE ROWNUM < 50;
...
END;.

 
 
    4.复合目标(如对象)不能用于RETURNING INTO子句中.
  5.当需要隐式数据类型转换时,多复合目标(如对象集合)不能用于bulk collect into子句。
九、同时使用FORALL 和BULK COLLECT
  Using FORALL and BULK COLLECT Together
  你能使FORALL语句与BULK COLLECT结合,如下例:如果集合depts有3个元素,每个元素导致5行被删除,则语句完成时,集合enums有15个元素:
  FORALL j IN depts.FIRST..depts.LAST
  DELETE FROM emp WHERE empno = depts(j)
  RETURNING empno BULK COLLECT INTO enums;
  注意:不能在FORALL语句中使用SELECT ... BULK COLLECT语句。
十、Using Host Arrays with Bulk Binds
  客户端程序能用匿名PL/SQL块批挷定输入和输出数组(arrays)。实际上,这是与服务器端传递集合最有效的方式。
  Host arrays are declared in a host environment such as an OCI or Pro*C program and must be prefixed with a colon to distinguish them from PL/SQL collections. In the example below, an input host array is used in a DELETE statement. At run time, the anonymous PL/SQL block is sent to the database server for execution.
  

DECLARE
  ...
  BEGIN
  -- assume that values were assigned to the host array
  -- and host variables in the host environment
  FORALL i IN :lower..:upper
  DELETE FROM emp WHERE deptno = :depts(i);
  ...
  END;

  

限制:以下限制将应用于FORALL语句:
  1. 在FORALL循环中,UPDATE语句中的SET子句和WHERE子句中不能指向同一个集合,你可能需要获得另一个集合副本,以在WHERE子句指向新的名称。
  2. INSERT,UPDATE或DELETE语句必须至少涉及一个集合。如在LOOP插入一组常量的FORALL语句将引发异常。( FORALL的INSERT之类的语句一定要用in-bind 方式,如:

SQL> BEGIN
2 FORALL i IN 1..100
3 INSERT INTO parts VALUES(i,i);
4 END;
5 /
ORA-06550: 第 3 行, 第 5 列:
PLS-00435: 没有 BULK In-BIND 的 DML 语句在 FORALL 内不能使用
ORA-06550: 第 2 行, 第 12 列:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

  
   
   3. 指定范围内的所有集合元素必须存在,如果一元素丢失或删除,你将收到一个错误,如:

DECLARE
TYPE NumList IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
depts NumList := NumList(10, 20, 30, 40);
BEGIN
depts.DELETE(3); -- delete third element
FORALL i IN depts.FIRST..depts.LAST
DELETE FROM emp WHERE deptno = depts(i); -- causes an error
END;


  
   4. 下例显示,复合值的输入集合不能被分解和跳跃数据库列


CREATE TABLE coords (x NUMBER, y NUMBER);
CREATE TYPE Pair AS OBJECT (m NUMBER, n NUMBER);
DECLARE
TYPE PairTab IS TABLE OF Pair;
pairs PairTab := PairTab(Pair(1,2), Pair(3,4), Pair(5,6));
TYPE NumTab IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
nums NumTab := NumTab(1, 2, 3);
BEGIN
/**//* The following statement fails. */
FORALL i IN 1..3
UPDATE coords SET (x, y) = pairs(i)
WHERE x = nums(i);
END;
The workaround is to decompose the composite values manually:
DECLARE
TYPE PairTab IS TABLE OF Pair;
pairs PairTab := PairTab(Pair(1,2), Pair(3,4), Pair(5,6));
TYPE NumTab IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
nums NumTab := NumTab(1, 2, 3);
BEGIN
/**//* The following statement succeeds. */
FORALL i in 1..3
UPDATE coords SET (x, y) = (pairs(i).m, pairs(i).n)
WHERE x = nums(i);
END;
  5. 集合下标不能是表达式,示例:
  FORALL j IN mgrs.FIRST..mgrs.LAST
  DELETE FROM emp WHERE mgr = mgrs(j+1); -- invalid subscript
  6. 游标属性%BULK_ROWCOUNT不能分配给其它集合,同样,它也不能作为参数传递到子程序。
