I believe you can try it. I think there is an API call to parameterize a
query. However, test it because usually it is just a string substitution and
so it ends up not actually using host variables.
If you have 8.1.7 you can use cursor_sharing=force in the init.ora parameter
file. The Oracle will translate queries that do not have host variables to
ones that do. Not as good as using host variables, but better than not.
