Oracle DBMS_SQL

Version 11.1

General

Note: DBMS_SQL is the traditional form of dynamic SQL in Oracle.

For most purposes native dynamic sql (NDS) will suffice but there are some things the DBMS_SQL package does that can not be done any other way. This page emphasizes those areas where there is no substitute.
