Re: Proceeding table object as procedure argument

Stjepan:

Use dynamic SQL. Create the SQL statement as a string, concatenating the parameters containing the table/column names. Something like this:

sql_statement := 'update ' || p_tablename || ' set ' || p_columnname || ' = ''' || p_someval || '''';
execute immediate sql_statement;
