Lisa,

If you are using BULK COLLECT or BULK BIND, you have to specify a collection for each column. There is no workaround, this is a system limitation.

Welcome to wonderful world of 9i, you might be able to use a table of records, but you still can't assign a whole row type

i.e. you can't say

forall tab_emp.first .. tab_emp.last
  insert into emp values tab_emp(i);

however, you must say

forall tab_emp.first .. tab_emp.last
  insert into emp values tab_emp(i).ename, tab_emp(i).emp_sal;

HTH
Raj
