try constructing the statement and using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (probably the preferred method)

if the predicate on the LOCAL_ID column does not contribute to performance (i.e., plenty of selectivity on the IDN_ID column), you could also try something like

    and instr( v_options, '[' || local_id || ']' ) > 0

where V_OPTIONS is constructed in the proc to look something like '[1][3][9][17][20001]'
