    Question

    hi
    i want to know how to select the table dynamically from a system tab and insert the values to a row of the selected table in a query or a procedure?
    for example :
    i want to insert the value to a table selected from tab
    i tried

    INSERT INTO (SELECT tname FROM TAB where tname='table name') VALUES('a');

    ofcourse didnt work.


    here i pass the tablename from frontend.
    i want to select the table as i pass the parameter from front end and insert the value for the row in the selected table by passing parameter from front end.

    I think you will have to do some dynamic SQL, here is a URL on this site of a document that may help.

    CREATE PROCEDURE ABC (P_TABLE_NAME VARCHAR2) AS
    SQL VARCHAR2(4000);
    BEGIN
    SQL := 'INSERT INTO '||P_TABLE_NAME||' VALUES (''A'')';

    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQL;
    END;
