Hi,
I'm planning to change some of the code used in one project to use bind variables. But when I was looking at the code I got ssome doubts regarding the bind variables.
If we have a function or procedure some thing like this :

create or replace procedure TEST (p_date date)
as
v_date date;
begin

select input_date INTO v_date where beg_date = p_date;
end;

So , is the p_date (input variable) is considered as a bind variable ? If not how can I use bind variables in the above select statments.

Thanks.
