chr(13) or is it chr(10) (or some other ascii value) but instead of dealing with
with multiple quotes is much easier to just concatenate on the ASCII value of it.

I am trying to write dynamic sql to create some insert statements. I am doing:

select 'insert into table (val1, val2) values (' || val1 || ',' || val2 || ');'
from table;

The problem I am having is that one of the values is a char, and must be enclosed in single quotes in the output. I cant do this:

select sysdate || ''' || sysdate from dual

How do I concatinate a ' with the colum values?

Thanks
Erik
