Roland used an anonymous PL/SQL procedure:
SQL> begin 2 insert into rbr_foo select sysdate from dual;
[...wait about 10 seconds...] 3 insert into rbr_foo select sysdate from dual; 4 end; 5 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select * from rbr_foo;
Oracle isn't processing those statements interactively. SQL*Plus
is waiting on the "/" to send the PL/SQL block to the database.
I suspect its not going to take Oracle more than a second to
insert a row...
