Afternoon Raja,
>> when the below is run i am getting the error. can someone help me
:
>> begin
>> execute immediate ' select sysdate from dual ;'
>> end ;
you need to remove the ';' from the query and add it to the end of the
line as follows :
execute immediate ' select sysdate from dual' ;
You also need to have somewhere to store the result as in :
declare
vResult date;
begin
execute immediate 'select sysdate from dual' into vResult;
-- do something with vResult here ...
end;
Note the syntax is slightly different to 'normal' Pl/SQL where you
would SELECT somthing INTO somewhere FROM table WHERE .....
Cheers,
Norman.
