declare
str varchar2(100);
begin
str:='select * from emp';
execute immediate str;
end;
/
Though saying that pl/sql completed successfully, but the result is not shown, i mean the query 'select * from emp' is not getting executed.Can anyone tell me what exactly is the problem?

In the context of PL/SQL, a select statement must return data INTO something (variable, PL/SQL table). There is no auto-display of the data from the result set. One option would be to loop through a cursor and display the results using dbms_output:
First, in SQL*Plus:
and then:
begin
for r in (select * from emp) loop
dbms_output.put_line('Employee #: ' || r.emp_no);
end loop;
end;
