I'm looking at a way to speed up a huge insert (100K records at a time). In looking at FORALL, it looks like it could do what I want, but I'm not sure how to set it up correctly. What I currently do is:

set up a cursor, selecting the rows from table a for cursor_rec in cursor_data loop

   insert into table b
   commit evey 2K rows
end loop

Is there a better way to do this?

Thank you for your help.
