I have a procedure in which 100 tables have to be updated one by one. All tables have the same column to be updated. For improving the performance I am trying to use Execute Immediate with FORALL but I am getting a lot of compilation errors.
Is it syntactically possible to update 100 different tables inside a FORALL statement using Execute immediate.
My code looks something like this.
Declare
TYPE u IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(240) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
Table_List u;
FOR somecursor IN (SELECT variable1, variable2 FROM SomeTable)
LOOP
BEGIN
Table_List(1) := 'table1';
Table_List(2) := 'table2';
......
......
table_list(100):= 'table100';
FORALL i IN Table_List.FIRST .. Table_List.LAST
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'UPDATE :1 SET column = :3 WHERE column = :2'
USING Table_List(i), somecursor.variable1, somecursor.variable2 ;
end loop;
I hope people can understand what I am trying to do through this code. If something is big time wrong please suggest me what exactly is the syntax and if it can be done in some other efficient way also.
Thanks a lot for all the help which comes my way.
