I have this SQL*Plus report with a query which compares varchar2 variables from 2 tables in the where clause. These variables don't seem to work when they contain special characters like "/", "-" or spaces. What should I do so that SQL*Plus just takes these characters literally, without "interpreting" them? I run on 8.1.6.
