bind parameters as an array of objects

All:
Is it possible to pass an array of bind variables i.e. w/o names, just as positional objects?
"INSERT INTO countries VALUES (:country_id, :country_name)", { country_id: { val: 90, dir: oracledb.BIND_IN, type: oracledb.NUMBER }, country_name: { val: "Tonga", dir: oracledb.BIND_IN, type:oracledb.STRING } } [ { val: 90, dir: oracledb.BIND_IN, type: oracledb.NUMBER }, { val: "Tonga", dir: oracledb.BIND_IN, type:oracledb.STRING } ]
Some specifications like ODBC/JDBC support ? as bind parameter marker -- insert into countries values(?.?). It will be useful in such cases.
With regards

What happened when you tried it?
Did it work or
did you get errors?

Hi:
It worked. But I am up against an open and shut issue of support for question marks as parameter markers. See https://github.com/oracle/node-oracledb/issues/109

It's not much more complex in most cases to use array bind with numeric parameters instead of question marks:
connection.execute(
"INSERT INTO countries VALUES (:0, :1)",
["Tonga", 90],
. . .
I understand question marks might be useful for compatibility in some cases. The identification of bind variables in SQL is an Oracle OCI 'feature', and not specific to node-oracledb.
