pl/sql: insert a type-object into a table

hi,

i have e.g. the this type-object and the table to store it:

CREATE TYPE test_t AS OBJECT (a number, b number);

CREATE TABLE test_items OF test_t;

now i want to save an instance of the object test_t into this table. i tried it with the following pl/sql-code:

[...]

as

myObject test_t;

begin

[...]

myObject := new test_t('1','2');

[...]

INSERT INTO test_items VALUES (myObject); -- <== not working

[...]

end;

this was not working! :-( do you have any idea how I have to write my insert-statement?

thanks for helping!
