Snippet Name: FORALL

Description: FORALL transfers data from a PL/SQL collection to the specified table using collections. The following code example shows a procedure that accepts a nested table of book information and inserts the full contents of that collection (the binding array) into the book table. Note that this example also takes advantage of Oracle9i's FORALL enhancement that allows the INSERT of a record directly into a table.
