I could write a massive update statement but there are a lot of fields. I may end up doing it that way.
I just found the %ROWTYPE attribute...it seems to work like a "scatter memvar" but there is no "gather memvar" equivalent that I can find.

There is no scatter memver in oracle.

Hi everyone,
I have a task to sync two tables in Oracle. There are two sets of tables. One is the set used by the application. The other set of tables are identical but each has an action field that is used do show if the row should be an add, update, or delete. An interface tool is populating
these.
I must take these interface tables and update the originals. I hope that makes sense.
Anyway, in FoxPro, I could just loop through each row, run "scatter memvar", locate/seek for the matching row in the original table, and run "gather memvar".
Does anyone know of an approach in Oracle like that or perhaps have some advice on doing this?
