Hello list,
 
I would use the following SQL to search for someone whose last name is O'REAR 
in sqlplus.
 
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE name LIKE '% O/'REAR' ESCAPE '/';
 
 
 
How do I do it if I want to build the SQL first in a variable for a PL/SQL 
statement?
 
 
cmd:='SELECT' || l_column || 'FROM emp WHERE name LIKE '% O/'REAR' ESCAPE '/';
--This gives me an error.
 
Thanks,
 
Roger
