Re: Anyone have a fresh pair of eyes....?

Good morning,

I think this is because bind variables can be used only for DML statements and alter is not exactly DML statement. The only other option is to directly concatenate seq_diff value to sql_statement.

Simple testcase:

TDS2_at_GALA $drop sequence test_sq;

Sequence dropped.

TDS2_at_GALA $create sequence test_sq;

Sequence created.

TDS2_at_GALA $begin
  2 execute immediate 'alter sequence test_sq increment by :x' using 1;   3 end;
  4 /
begin
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number
ORA-06512: at line 2
