For performance reasons we are trying to rewrite all of our packages to use
bind variables so that all of our queries are static. We have been able to
do this everywhere except in the ORDER BY clause. According to Oracle
Support we cannot use a bind variable in the ORDER BY clause. The
application we are developing allows the user to select up to 2 columns out
of 150 to sort by so we need to be able to change the columns used in the
ORDER BY clause. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can allow our users to
request different sort columns and still create a static query?
Thanks,
Jeff
