Query Help - String in where clause has & character

问题

I am running an SQL (Oracle) statement like that

select * from table 
where table_id in ('265&310', '266&320')

While running through TOAD, it consider & as some variable placeholder and it asks for its value. If it was for 1-2 place holders then I could have set it in TOAD but the in clause has like 200 of strings.

How to put this query?

I want to export the DATASET as SQL INSERT statement, so I can't use this in SQL-PLUS.

回答1:

In TOAD, you can disable the prompt for substitution variables from the options dialog:

You need to uncheck: View –> Toad Options –> Execute/Compile –> Prompt for Substitution variables.

回答2:

SET DEFINE OFF;

Will work to turn the prompting for variable off..

or

SET ESCAPE ON;
SELECT 'blah \& blah' AS DES FROM DUAL;

回答3:

You can escape the ampersand character by using concatenation, like this:

select * from table 
where table_id in ('265' || '&' || '310', '266' || '&' || '320')
