The BULK stuff I'm not really familiar with but it seems very interesting. I was actually planning to look into it soon since the newer project I'm working on is forcing me to use SQL embedded in the app in order to interact with the DB, and I noticed there was a BULK INSERT option with ODP.Net. In my experience, per-row transactions via ODP.Net are cripplingly slow, and have a ton of overhead and I really want to avoid that if possible.  

However, that aside, I will see if I am allowed to make that change in these two recent stored procs (see my latest reply to Sybrand).
