Evaluates dependencies at runtime. Evaluates dependencies at runtime. Defines column and table names at runtime. Defines column and table names at runtime. Lets you define polymorphic statements. Lets you define polymorphic statements. Build dynamic SQL statements by using: Build dynamic SQL statements by using: Native Dynamic SQL (NDS) uses EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to run dynamic statements. Native Dynamic SQL (NDS) uses EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to run dynamic statements. DBMS_SQL Built-in provides a collection of overloaded functions and procedures to build and execute dynamic queries. DBMS_SQL Built-in provides a collection of overloaded functions and procedures to build and execute dynamic queries.
