ctxHdl - context handle
mask - the date mask
setBatchSize(ctxHdl IN ctxType, batchSize IN NUMBER);
Changes the batch size used during DML operations. When performing inserts, updates or deletes, it is better to batch the operations so that they get executed in one shot rather than as separate statements. The flip side is that more memory is needed to buffer all the bind values. Note that when batching is used, a commit occurs only after a batch is executed. So if one of the statement inside a batch fails, the whole batch is rolled back. This is a small price to pay considering the performance gain; nevertheless, if this behaviour is unaccepatable, then set the batch size to 1.

batchSize - batch size
See Also:
DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE
setCommitBatch(ctxHdl IN ctxType, batchSize IN NUMBER);

ctxHdl - context handle

setUpdateColumn(ctxHdl IN ctxType, colName IN VARCHAR2);
Adds a column to the "update column list". In case of insert, the default is to insert values to all the columns in the table; on the other hand, in case of updates, the default is to only update the columns corresponding to the tags present in the ROW element of the XML document. When the update column list is specified, the columns making up this list alone will get updated or inserted into.
