Hello,

In 8i, the BULK COLLECT and FORALL commands are limited to working with scalar arrays.

Does this restriction still apply in 9i? We are still on 8.1.6.

In my case, I would like to do something like:

TYPE tab_type IS TABLE OF oracle_table%ROWTYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER; plsql_table tab_type;

SELECT * BULK COLLECT INTO plsql_table
FROM oracle_table;

and

FORALL j IN plsql_table.FIRST..plsql_table.LAST

   INSERT INTO oracle_table VALUES (plsql_table(j));

Is this possible in 9i?

Thanks to any responders.
