Answer 1

I am not sure if this fits your oracle version. On my 10g I can use pipelined table functions:

set serveroutput on

create type number_list as table of number;

-- since you want this solution
create or replace function split_csv (i_csv varchar2) return number_list pipelined 
  is 
    mystring varchar2(2000):= i_csv;
  begin
    for r in
    ( select regexp_substr(mystring,'[^,]+',1,level) element
        from dual
     connect by level <= length(regexp_replace(mystring,'[^,]+')) + 1
    )
    loop
      --dbms_output.put_line(r.element);
      pipe row(to_number(r.element, '999999.99'));
    end loop;
  end;

insert into foo
select column_a,column_b from 
  (select column_value column_a, rownum rn from table(split_csv('0.75, 0.64, 0.56, 0.45'))) a 
 ,(select column_value column_b, rownum rn from table(split_csv('0.25, 0.5, 0.65, 0.8'))) b
 where a.rn = b.rn
;
