Insert via DB-LINK

Question

Hi, i'm trying to insert via dblink data selected from local table. Here is the code:
create or replace type T_DATA_IDS as table of number(19);
export_process_ids t_data_ids;And here is the query:
    insert into process@archive
      (select * from process where process_id in
        (select * from table(export_process_ids)));And it throws
ORA-22804: remote operations not permitted on object tables or user-defined type columns
When i change '(select * from table(export_process_ids))' to some id's from that table data is inserted without errors.
How can i work around that error?

I tried
create table temp2 as (select * from table(export_process_ids));But now i have error:

You need the following:
begin
  execute immediate 'create table temp2 as (select * from table(export_process_ids))';
end>
[...] but with every iteration it executes one select query ((select * from process where process_id in my_rows.NOT_SURE_WHAT_THIS_NAME_IS) )) which i'd like to avoid.No. For inserts FORALL creates a bulk statement. Only for updates FORALL creates individual statements:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE my_collection IS VARRAY (256) OF NUMBER;
CREATE TABLE test_bulk (   test_id    NUMBER , id_test_1  NUMBER , id_test_2  NUMBER );
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER test_asi AFTER INSERT ON TEST_BULK  REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS Old DECLARE BEGIN  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('expensive action'); END;
DECLARE
  my_collection_test  my_collection;
BEGIN
      SELECT LEVEL
        BULK COLLECT INTO my_collection_test
        FROM DUAL
  CONNECT BY LEVEL < 15;
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('forall');
FORALL i IN 1..my_collection_test.COUNT
           INSERT INTO test_bulk(id_test_1,id_test_2) VALUES (1,my_collection_test(i));
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('simple loop');
   FOR i IN 1..my_collection_test.COUNT LOOP
           INSERT INTO test_bulk(id_test_1,id_test_2) VALUES (1,my_collection_test(i));
   END LOOP;
END;
DROP TABLE test_bulk;
DROP TYPE my_collection;returns:forall
