Oracle Bind Variables
Version 11.1
 
General Information
Note: Without further specification bind variables are assumed to be of character type. Replace :b1 with TO_DATE(:b1) if working with date values or TO_NUMBER(:b1) if numeric values.
Bind Variable Usage set linesize 121
col sql_text format a100

SELECT sql_text
FROM gv$sql
WHERE sql_text LIKE '%:B%'
AND rownum < 21;
Bind Variable Values col value_string format a60

SELECT DISTINCT hash_value, value_string
FROM gv$sql_bind_capture
WHERE rownum < 501
ORDER BY 1;

SQL Injection Variable Demo

This example is based on a demo created by Tom Kyte and published in the Jan/Feb 2005 issue of Oracle Magazine 		CREATE TABLE user_table (
username VARCHAR2(30),
password VARCHAR2(30));

INSERT INTO user_table
(username, password)
VALUES
('Tom Kyte', 'top_secret_password');

COMMIT;

SELECT * FROM user_table;

-- not using bind variables: valid attempt
SQL> Accept Uname prompt "Enter username: "
Enter username: Tom Kyte

SQL> Accept Pword prompt "Enter pass: "
Enter pass: top_secret_password

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM user_table
WHERE username = '&Uname'
AND password = '&Pword';

-- not using bind variables: SQL injection
SQL> Accept Uname prompt "Enter username: "
Enter username: Tom Kyte

SQL> Accept Pword prompt "Enter pass: "
Enter pass: i_dont_know ' or 'x ' ='x

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM user_table
WHERE username = '&Uname'
AND password = '&Pword';

-- using bind variables
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE validate_user(uname VARCHAR2, upasswd VARCHAR2) IS
 i NATURAL;
BEGIN
  SELECT COUNT(*)
  INTO i
  FROM user_table
  WHERE username = uname
  AND password = upasswd;

  IF i > 0 THEN
    dbms_output.put_line('Access Granted');
  ELSE
    dbms_output.put_line('Access Denied');
  END IF;
END validate_user;
/

set serveroutput on

exec validate_user('Tom Kyte', 'top_secret_password');

exec validate_user('Pete Finnigan', 'i dont know');

exec validate_user('Dan Morgan', '''i_dont_know'' or ''x = x''');
