Executing Dynamic Non-query Statements

Syntax

The above syntax diagram is explained as follows:

USING IN bind_argument is used to specify the variable that transfers values to dynamic SQL statements. It is used when a placeholder exists in dynamic_noselect_string. That is, a placeholder is replaced by the corresponding bind_argument when a dynamic SQL statement is executed. Note that bind_argument can only be a value, variable, or expression, and cannot be a database object such as a table name, column name, and data type. If a stored procedure needs to transfer database objects through bind_argument to construct dynamic SQL statements (generally, DDL statements), you are advised to use double vertical bars (||) to concatenate dynamic_select_clause with a database object. In addition, a dynamic PL/SQL block allows duplicate placeholders. That is, a placeholder can correspond to only one bind_argument.
