Using bind variables with dynamic SELECT INTO clause in PL/SQL

Question

I have a question regarding where bind variables can be used in a dynamic SQL statement in PL/SQL.

For example, I know that this is valid:

CREATE OR          


        

Answer 1

In my opinion, a dynamic PL/SQL block is somewhat obscure. While is very flexible, is also hard to tune, hard to debug and hard to figure out what's up. My vote goes to your first option,

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query_str INTO v_num_of_employees USING p_job;

Both uses bind variables, but first, for me, is more redeable and tuneable than @jonearles option.
