I'm using Oracle SQL Developer to test a query to be used in an ADF application's read only view object. ADF documentation recommends using an uppercase letter to begin the name of a bind variable. So... I've creatively named mine :BindVariable
Funky part is SQL Developer appears to dislike bind variables that begin with an upper case letter.
This query works
select * from tablename
where id like :bindVariable
This one does not
select * from tablename
where id like :BindVariable
Am I correct in understanding that bind variable names cannot begin with an upper case letter? Or is there something else amiss here?
EDIT
Is this just an Oracle SQL Developer thing? :BindVariable works just fine in JDeveloper's database navigator.
Thanks for reading! Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Oracle SQL Developer: can bind variables begin with upper case letter?
Yes.
There is no issue with SQL Developer . I have tested it on version 3.2.20.10
Please see the screenshots:
Query:
Result:
No issues in SQL*Plus either:
SQL> variable BindVariable VARCHAR2(20)
SQL> EXEC :BindVariable := 'SMITH'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT empno FROM emp WHERE ename LIKE :BindVariable;
EMPNO
