Yes, that limitation still exists in Oracle 9i, R1.

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.
