From Oracle to MySql

[Tomas Lusina]

Hi i have a little problem:

so:

(heard it from a friend)
in Oracle when you type something like this: SELECT *
FROM TABLE1
WHERE TABLE_COLUMN='&X';

it says: please insert value of 'X' (or something like that :D)



(my problem)
now, how do I implement the '&X' command in MySql?
or it doesent say anything and it yust works as if &X is empty?

i'm not an expert so please be gentle :)))

thanks

Tomas
