Dynamic SQL Statement [message #467503]

Dear Fellows,

Hope you are fine. I have a problem that i have hard coded the username.tablename in each select statement of all forms of my application. Now i want to use a dynamic variable in place of username in each select statement throughout the application. The example is:

select * from scott.emp

and i want to write it as:

select * from variable.emp

But at compilation of the form the compiler should know the above variable name.

I have tried to use following select statement but it does not work.

select user into :global.username from user_users

I think perhaps my problem would be solved with Dynamic SQL Statement but i have no experience by using this statement.

Would any guy help me in this regard? Thanks in advance for giving me your precious time and knowledge.

Muhammad Khalil

Why did you do that?

Cool. I hope your application isn't complex.

Oracle invented synonyms; your life would be much easier if you used those database objects (along with required privileges granted). As you are modifying the application anyway, perhaps you could consider such an approach as well.

You are absolutely right. I have searched the board as well as Google. I have also read out the link provided by Michal Cadot but the solution was not found.

My Client requirement is to change user name and passward whereas the hard coded user name cannot be changed. So please guide me or give me the solution that what to do?

What is the relation between this and your first question?
In what the link I provided does not help you to build a dynamic query?
