Image a cursor with a SELECT statement which retrieves 1000 rows, in such scenario a context switch
will happen for 1000 times which consumes lot of CPU resources and leads to a performance issue.
BULK COLLECT is one of the way to solve this problem.

BULK COLLECT is one of the way of fetching bulk collection of data. With Oracle bulk collect, the
PL/SQL engine tells the SQL engine to collect many rows at once and place them into a collection.
During an Oracle bulk collect, the SQL engine retrieves all the rows and loads them into the collection
and switches back to the PL/SQL engine. When rows are retrieved using Oracle bulk collect, context
switch happens only once. The larger the number of rows you would like to collect with Oracle
bulk collect, the more performance improvement you will see using an Oracle bulk collect.

Example
In this example, lets use BULK COLLECT to fetch information of all the applications present in an EBS
instance.
