• This is done with the help of the ‘BULK INSERT’ statement.

• The ‘SELECT INTO’ statement is used in T-SQL

• In this, the ‘NOT EXISTS’ clause can be used with the ‘SELECT’ statements.

PL-SQL

• It is an Oracle product.

• It is not easy.

• It is complex to understand.

• It supports object oriented programming concepts such as data encapsulation, function overloading, and information hiding.
