Find affected rows when using OCIBindArrayOfStruct for UPDATE statement

Question

If I run a bulk UPDATE query using OCIBindArrayOfStruct, is there a way I can tell which+ rows successfully updated?
I have a file of records of which 75% of PKs are already in the table and will be updated, the other 25% aren't and should be inserted later. I want to attempt an UPDATE statement on each entry in the file, using OCIBindArrayOfStruct to execute in bulk, and then check which entries in my bulk array successfully updated. If an array entry isn't successfully updated then I will assume it should be inserted and will store it for a Direct Path load later.
Many thanks for any advice you can give as I've been trawling through the docs trying to find a solution for ages now.

To get count from DB using dynamic SQL, you might need form to call a DB function that can run a query and return a number.
ie
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_count(pTable VARCHAR2, pWhere VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
   vCount VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
      'SELECT COUNT(1) FROM '||pTable||' WHERE '||pWhere
   INTO vCount;
   RETURN vCount;
END;Then in your form you do:
   vUpDCnt := get_count(pTable=>'some_table',pWhere=>'...');Hope this helps.
