Difference between Bind and Lexical parameters?..

Answer / sam

Bind references are used to replace a single value in SQL
or PL/SQL. Specifically, bind references may be used to
replace expressions in SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY,
HAVING,CONNECT BY, and START WITH clauses of queries.
Bind references may not be used in a FROM clause.
An example is:
SELECT ORDID,TOTAL
FROM ORD
WHERE CUSTID = :CUST

Lexical references are placeholders for text that you embed
in a SELECT statement, when you want the parameter to
substitute multiple values at runtime. You can use lexical
references to replace the clauses appearing after SELECT,
FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, CONNECT BY, and
START WITH. You cannot make lexical references in PL/SQL.
Before you reference a lexical parameter in a query you
must have predefined the parameter and given it an initial
value.
An example is:
SELECT ORDID, TOTAL
FROM &ATABLE
