Venkata,

the way to do this is to return the column you wish to use in the WHERE clause.

Example:
Create view v1 as select ename,empno,sal,deptno from emp;

Then, when you access the view, you can say:

select * from v1 where deptno={some value}

I do this all the time, and it works just fine.

hopw this helps.

Dear All,
Is it possible to create a view where I will pass the condition to the where clause dynamically.

eg)
Create view v1 as select ename,empno,sal from emp where deptno=:a

The value of 'a' I will pass the value dynamically when I do the select.

eg) select * from v1.
Now I'll pass the value say 20.

Is this possible

Any suggestions or workaround for this.

TIA Regards

Venkata
