RE: select from dual?

i think the following code should work ->

select 30,'where name in (''NAME1'',''NAME2'')' || ' ;' from dual;

the character fields should be seperated by double quotes instead of single. santosh

 Hi lists

 Whats wrong with the following statement:-
>
> select 30,'where name in ('NAME1','NAME2')' || ' ;' from dual;
>
> where as the following is working fine:
>
> select 30, 'where id in (10,20)' || ' ;' from dual;
>
> can anybody throw some light?
