You have to have 1 collection (index by table) per column. In your example, you would need to have 3 index by tables:

v_order_event_id message_contentorder_event_id%TYPE

INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
v_message_field_id message_field_id%TYPE

INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
v_message_content message_content%TYPE

INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER; FORALL i in 1..fcount

  insert into message_content values (v_order_event_id(i),
                                      v_message_field_id(i),
                                      v_message_content(i));

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?
