if your in 8i you can only use one field for a bulk collect( i think ic ant remember). I think they fixed that in 9i.
i meant whatever. i also 'think' to do a bulk collect in 8i you cant anchor the pl/sql table. has to be varchar2, number, etc... im pretty sure you can do it with a rowid. I dont remember either. Im 29. Im senile.
