    Hi Sanjay,

    Use the following to insert a&b in a varchar2 column. I have used a test table d1 with a column a1.

    SQL> set escape #
    SQL> insert into d1 values ('a#&b');

    1 row created.

    SQL> select * from d1;

    A1
    ----------
    a&b

    Thanks and regards

    Besides "set define off", are there other way to do that?
    Eg, insert into a values('a&b') in PL/SQL which is not SQL/PLUS env?

    Thanks
