Hi Monks,
I am trying to create dynamic SQL <query.
First, I build a query with placeholders, something like:
my $query = "INSERT INTO $table_name (F1,F2,F3...) VALUES (?,?,?,...)"
+;

And then I bind the values using the following code:
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($query);
my @params = @$bind_params;
my ($i,$j);
for ($i = 0,$j=1; $i <= $#params;$i++,$j++){
$sth->bind_param($j,$params[$i]);   
}
$sth->execute();

Now, I get the followong DBA error:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expec

It seems that there is a problem in using reserved words e.g. SYSDATE or TO_DATE.
The bind function treats them as a string.
Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks,
