Hi all,

I want to pass strings as parameters to procedures / functions, is that possible ?

With Transact SQL you can simply say EXECUTE "any sql statement" and it works, how is it done with Oracle ?

Example:

declare

v1      varchar2(20) := 'tablename';
v2	int;

begin

select count(*) into v2 from v1;

dbms_output.put_line (to_char(v2));

end;

thx in advance
