    Thank you for your reply. I tried that. I still get SQL error. 
    DBD::Oracle::db prepare failed: ORA-00911: invalid character (DBD ERRO
+R: error possibly near <*> indicator at char 84 in 'Select *
From SMSVA_SUPR.schedule_table
where process_name = 'Seed'
and Sunday = 'Y'<*>;
') [for Statement "Select *
From SMSVA_SUPR.schedule_table
where process_name = 'Seed'
and Sunday = 'Y';
"] at seed_driver.pl line 93.

      Based on what the error message is complaining about, I'd recommend that you try to remove the semi-colon at the end of the SQL statement.

      Also, I don't know where your variable will be getting it's values from, but you might want to check out Little Bobby Tables for info about preventing SQL injection issues.

        That was a silly mistake on my end. I took out ; and it worked. Thanks for your help!

    I pretty much tried all combinations of using it without quotation marks, with ' ' and with " " and I keep getting those SQL errors.
