VARCHAR variable in where clause

[Peter Jenny]

Hi NG

How do I have to use a VARCHAR2 variable in a where clause.
I could not find an example.

PART_NR VARCHAR2(20);
myPartId NUMBER()20;

PART_NR := '101 189';
select part_id into myPartId from part where part_nr = PART_NR; -- not working, hwo to do ?

How do I have to "escape" the PART_NR, that it will be:

where part_nr = '101 189'

Thanks
Peter

Hi NG

I just found the problem.

PART_NR is the same as part_nr of course.

so renaming PART_NR into PART_NR_TO_SEARCH_FOR is solving the problem...

What makes you think that
PART NR
is a valid variable name?

(HINT: try PART_NR)
