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

Bind variable can be used in Oracle SQL query with "in" clause.

Works in 10g; I don't know about other versions.

Bind variable is varchar up to 4000 characters.

Example: Bind variable containing comma-separated list of values, e.g.

:bindvar = 1,2,3,4,5

select * from mytable
  where myfield in
    (
      SELECT regexp_substr(:bindvar,'[^,]+', 1, level) items
      FROM dual
      CONNECT BY regexp_substr(:bindvar, '[^,]+', 1, level) is not null
    );
