Not exactly sure what you mean?
do you mean
select ... from ... where dept='mydept'
vs
select ... from ... where dept=:hvDept
?
If so the 2nd one (has bind variables) is better if another session does the
same thing
select ... from ... where dept=:hvDept
vs
select ... from ... where dept='hisDept'
See the documentation for Application development.
