"set define off" will also do the trick.

Whenever you want to reference an ampersand character, simply use the CHR(38) in its place.

what if the data contains an ampersand '&' in sqlplus
select * from weekend
where timeoff = 'Saturday & Sunday'
you get
Enter value for Sunday

in sqlplus i can set define to another character but how to handle this in an application? should the application alter its session as well?

thanks and tgif
