[转]How do I use variables in Oracle SQL Developer?

Below is an example of using variables in SQL Server 2000.

DECLARE @EmpIDVar INT

SET @EmpIDVar = 1234

SELECT *
FROM Employees
WHERE EmployeeID = @EmpIDVar

I want to do the exact same thing in Oracle using SQL Developer without additional complexity.  It seems like a very simple thing to do, but I can't find a simple solution.  How can I do it?

You can read up elsewhere on substitution variables; they're quite handy in SQL Developer.  But I have fits trying to use bind variables in SQL Developer.  This is what I do:

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
declare
  v_testnum number;
  v_teststring varchar2(1000);

begin
   v_testnum := 2;
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('v_testnum is now ' || v_testnum);

   select 36,'hello world'
   INTO v_testnum, v_teststring
   from dual;

   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('v_testnum is now ' || v_testnum);
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('v_teststring is ' || v_teststring);
end;

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON makes it so text can be printed to the script output console.
