Hi,

I am trying to execute a SQL query from my Perl script. The and statement relies on the variable that I have outside of SQL query.

It doesn't seem to work for some reason.

Here is a part of my code where I am trying to accomplish this:
my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:host=ortp09-scan;port=1521;service
+_name=service1", "uname", "pass" , {
    RaiseError => 1
} );

# $day variable could change..hardcoded for now
$day = "Sunday";

my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<SQL);
Select *
From SMSVA_SUPR.schedule_table
where process_name = 'Seed'
and '$day' = 'Y';
SQL

$sth->execute();

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
