Hi,

Please suggest me how to insert the dml_stmt into the table column..

I have the field called dml_statement field, in that user will give the dml statements.. my program
will pass this argument tO the procedure and that procedure will insert the data into the table called dml_table(in dml_stmt column)

For simple insert stmt, data is inserting into the table but for the dml whoes having the single
quote, it does not getting inserted into the table...

Let me explain this more clearly:

1)ENTER THE DML_STMT : INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME(COL1) VALUES(3434);
  ABOVE DML IS GETTING INSERTED BY THE PROCEDURE INTO THE TABLE DML_TABLE:

2)ENTER THE DML_STMT : INSERT INTO DML_TABLE(DML_STMT) VALUES('3424');
  ABOVE DML IS NOT GETTING INSERTED BY THE PROCEDURE, I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM TOO BUT CANT 
  OVERCOME THIS.BECAUSE OF THE SINGLE QUOTE PROCEDURE CANT INSERT THE ABOVE DML INTO THE DML_TABLE

I tried with replace function, but i cant pass the dml_stmt field
something like below :

select replace(INSERT INTO DML_TABLE(DML_STMT) VALUES('3424');,'chr(39)','"') from dual;
i know above qry wont work, but i should do something like above to solve this ....

Please suggest me how to solve this prob ..

Regards,
Jame

If you use bind variables you have not this kind of problem.
Otherwise you have to double the quotes.

What you posted is not bind variable it is substitution variable.
Bind variable is:
SQL> var dml varchar2(1000)
SQL> exec :dml := 'insert into tab_name values(''testing'');'

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> print dml
DML
------------------------------------------
insert into tab_name values('testing');

SQL> insert into t values(:dml);

1 row created.

SQL> select * from t;
COL
---------------------------------------------
insert into tab_name values('testing');

1 row selected.

Michel

Is anyway is there to replace all the singe quote(') to a double single quote('')? so that this will be solved easily...

because i am getting the actual dml as input like seen below:

insert into table_name ('test');

If we are using replace() means, we should pass the dml stmt has a 1st parameter...there again its problem to pass the dml stmt..

wat u telling is something like below i hope:

replace(insert into tab_name values('test'),||chr(39)||,||chr(39)||chr(39));

Above wont work because of the single quote, please see the highlighted things....

There also i required the double quote, something like this ''test''...

regards,

The way you can do it depends on what this actual environment, how you will really insert this, from which, which program, which language, how, when, where...
