Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Newbie question: Is there a way to let "select ...from" statement accept a variable as a table name?
I created a procedure which has two IN type parameters. Then I
declared a local variable and assign it to the concatenation of the
two passed in variables. Then I wanted to use this variable as a table
name for "select...from" statement. But I got error said that table
name didn't exist. Is there a way to let the select statement get the
value of the variable but not the literal name of the variable ? My
code was like this:
create or replace procedure addpara(p_para1 varchar2, p_para2
varchar2)
is
v_name varchar2(20) := p_para1 || p_para2;
begin
select * from v_name where id = 10000; --if commented this
line,there's no error
dbms_output.put_line(v_name);
end addpara;
Any helps would be appreciated.
