I have a SQL query: SELECT * FROM EmpTable WHERE EmpName = 'John';
Now if I open this as a cursor in a PL/SQL function where I execute the above query with a EmpName supplied by the user...then I need to store the query in a string variable (or VARCHAR2 variable) But how do I handle the single quotes around the value of EmpName???? Is there some escape sequence??
DECLARE
query VARCHAR2(100):= 'SELECT * FROM EmpTable WHERE EmpName = 'John''; -- This is obviously wrong!
refc package.refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN refc FOR query;
END;

Is the employee name supplied while running in SQL*Plus or is it a parameter passed into a procedure?
If it is a parameter, you don't need to use dynamic SQL, just:
open refc for
select * from emptable where empname = p_empname; |
