在批量处理数据时，比如从上亿条记录的表中删除上1000万条数据，不仅要考虑对undo的影响，还要考虑对redo，对磁盘i/o，锁、阻塞等的影响，在某种意思上讲，同样的任务，执行的sql次越少，总的消耗的时间就越少……
create table tmp_object1 as select * from dba_objects;
create index idx_object1_name on tmp_object1(object_name);
create table tmp_object2 as select * from dba_objects;

alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';

declare
cursor cur_obj1 is select object_name from tmp_object1;

type v_array is table of tmp_object1.object_name%type;
v_obj1 v_array;

open cur_obj1;

fetch cur_obj1 bulk collect into v_obj1 limit 10000;

forall i in 1..v_obj1.count
delete from tmp_object1 where object_name = v_obj1(i);
commit;

exit when cur_obj1%notfound;
end loop;

　　说明：在上面的前半部分示例代码中，若把object_name = v_obj(i)改成rowid = v_obj(i)，删除数据时用rowid，而不是通过索引扫描，性能当然会略有提升，但总体来讲，比后半部分的代码，性能上还是大大不如……
