FORALL , how to insert counter?

Question

Hello,
How can I insert the counter in one column of a FORALL INSERT ?
FORALL counter IN 1 .. myArray.COUNT
INSERT INTO myTable (col1, col2)
VALUES (counter, myArray(counter));
This statement gives compile error: PLS-00430: FORALL iteration variable I is not allowed in this context.

Hi,
You may not use coounter as a variable inside the Forall. Counter must be the index for a collection.
Maybe you can try this
declare
   type array is table of number index by binary_integer;
   l_data array;
begin
   for i in 1 .. myArray.count
   loop
       l_data(i) := i;
   end loop;
   FORALL counter IN 1 .. myArray.COUNT
INSERT INTO myTable (col1, col2)
VALUES (l_data(counter), myArray(counter));
end;Hopes this give you a idea.
