    Arrow insert into table

    Hi,

    i'm facing this problem. I want to insert "gfd&b" value into table, but while inserting it's asking for value of b as &b is there, but i need to insert that ampersand(&) . Any expert advice.

    Here is the insert statment and the message i'm getting during insertion.

    SQL> insert into malay_test values ('gfd&b');
    Enter value for b:

    If it was me I would not support the ampersand. However, I think you can redefine its function. I'm not sure how to do that offhand. The tilde is always a good replacement.

    set define off

    will stop it doing that in sqlplus - sqlplus thinks it is a substitution variable
