The reason to use multiple row fetch versus single row fetch, is to limit the /number of trips/ between the program and the database. The smallest ratio for the number of trips to the number of rows retrieved would typically provide the best performance for the program, with regard to its database access processing.

For example, an analogy... One could remove separately each box of canned food from a pallet rather than removing separately each can of food from within each box on the pallet. Using the latter method would, except for when there is only one can per box, require more trips than when using the former method. As the number of cans per box increases, so too would the impact of the trips as measured in percentage of the overall work, to complete the task of removing all of the cans individually from the pallet.

And what the reason to fetch multiple records at the same time?
