I am trying, for the first time, to use bulk binding on insert.

Assuming I have a type defined as MESSAGE_CONTENT%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER, and a variable, v_message_content, of that type: I've tried the insert as

FORALL i in 1..fcount
  insert into message_content values (v_message_content(i));

which gives "expression is of wrong type".

I also tried

FORALL i in 1..fcount

  insert into message_content values (v_message_content(i).order_event_id,
                                      v_message_content(i).message_field_id,
                                      v_message_content(i).message_content);

which gives "implementation restriction: cannot reference fields of BULK In-BIND table of records".

So, how *is* it done?
