SQL>select ''''||sysdate||'''' "quote_me" from dual;
quote_me

I am trying to write dynamic sql to create some insert statements. I am
doing:
select 'insert into table (val1, val2) values (' || val1 || ',' || val2 ||
');'
from table;
The problem I am having is that one of the values is a char, and must be
enclosed in single quotes in the output. I cant do this:
select sysdate || ''' || sysdate from dual
How do I concatinate a ' with the colum values?
Thanks
Erik
