Instead of constructing the select string every time and running it with
execute immediate, create a function which:

1) takes your expression as a bind variable parameter
2) tokenizes this expression into individual pieces
3) loops through the tokens and performs appropriate calculation (like CASE
when token1 = '+' THEN result := result + token2 ... etc)
4) once looped through all tokens, return final result

This all can be done in PL/SQL...
