Hi,
I am seeing an odd problem with part of a stored procedure I am
building. Values are passed via and Access interface. All values are
processed properly except for one little annoying thing for which our
DBAs have no explanation. I pass a string from access that looks like
this: ABCDEF_ASDFGH. Inside the stored proc, it is altered to:
'ABCDEF','ASDFGH' so that it can be used as the details of an in
statement. If only one is passed (i.e. ABCDEF), the in statement works
fine, but if it is more than one, it gets ignored. I have checked to
make sure that the statement is properly built. Here is what it looks
like, somewhat:
listfromaccess : ABCDEF_ASDFGH
listaltered: replace(listfromaccess, '_', chr(39)||chr(44)||chr(39))
where table.item in (listaltered)
We are on oracle 9i and currently use Toad 7.5 for most of development.
Any suggestions on how to rectify this situation would be greatly
appreciated. I have also tried building the statement so that the line
becomes table.item = 'ABCDEF' or table.item = 'ASDFGH', but that also
gets overlooked. It reports that the script is executed with 0 errors
and 0 compile errors.
thanks,
godiva
