sqlplus中define定义的常量和variable定义的变量的区别！

前两天看到有人在pub上问在sqlplus中通过define和variable定义的变量的区别。其实define定义的我理解不是变量而是字符常量，通过define定义之后，在通过&或者&&引用的时候不需要输入了，仅此而已。oracle在执行的时候自动用值进行了替换；而variable定义的是绑定变量。[@more@]

--如果是字符类型那么在引用时别忘了加上单引号，另外通过define定义之后在引用时不需要输入了。

SQL> select * from tt where name=&&b;
原值 1: select * from tt where name=&&b
新值 1: select * from tt where name=a
select * from tt where name=a

第 1 行出现错误:
ORA-00904: "A": 标识符无效

SQL> select * from tt where name='&&b';
原值 1: select * from tt where name='&&b'
新值 1: select * from tt where name='a'

2 a

SQL> select * from tt where name='&b';
原值 1: select * from tt where name='&b'
新值 1: select * from tt where name='a'

ID NAME
---------- ----------
1 a
2 a

--执行sql时进行了替换

SQL> select sql_text from v$sql where sql_text like 'select * from tt where name
=%';

SQL_TEXT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

select * from tt where name=1
select * from tt where name='a'

--==============================================

--variable定义的是绑定变量

SQL> variable a number;
SQL> print a;

A
----------

SQL> exec :a:=1;

PL/SQL 过程已成功完成。

SQL> select * from tt where id=:a;

ID NAME
---------- ----------
1 a

SQL> select sql_text from v$sql where sql_text like 'select * from tt where id=:
a%';

SQL_TEXT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

select * from tt where id=:a

SQL> print a;
