Re: possible to use alter system or alter session commands dynamically?

Try this... PlSql Syntax...

l_sgle_quot_txt := '''' ;
execute immediate 'ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '

                 || l_sgle_quot_txt
                 || to_char(v_sid)
                 || ','
                 || to_char(v_serial#)
                 || l_sgle_quot_txt  ;

Note: If using Plsql, this will require the account that owns this Plsql will have to have the privilege 'alter system' granted directly to it and not just from a role like the DBA role.
