    Unhappy ROWID in dynamic SQL

    i have my variable declared as:

    l_rowid urowid;

    and i want to execute a dynamic update using rowid as a bind variable:

    for cur in (select rowid, ....) loop

    l_rowid := cur.rowid;

    execute immediate 'update sometable set somecolumn = 1 where rowid=:row_id' using l_rowid;

    end loop;

    something's wrong though and i get oracle error (invalid rowid).

    what is the correct way of doing this?

    THX

    Implicit cursor ...
    Code:
    begin
    for l_cur in (select rowid from my_table)
    loop
    update my_table set col1=2 where rowid = l_cur.rowid;
    end loop;
    end;
    /
