Oracle Apex 5.1 Dynamic SQL

how to Dynamic SQL before report to users in Apex 5.1? my query is:

declare
    q varchar2(4000);
begin
    q := 'select * from tb1 t';
    if :Param1 is not null then
        q := q || ' where t.name = :Param1';
    end if;

return q;
end;

:Param1 is optional for users.

I want if :Param1 is null then my query execute without any where clause. otherwise set where clause in my query.

the point is my Apex is Version 5.1

Thanks

you can use such a way below by using rowtype and type keywords for whole row and column values respectively :

SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> declare
    q         varchar2(4000);
    rt        tb1%rowtype;
    i_name    tb1.name%type := 'Mohammad';
    o_surname tb1.surname%type;
begin
    q := 'select * from tb1 t';
    if i_name is not null then
        q := q || ' where ( t.name = :Param1 or :Param1 is null )'; 
    end if;
  execute immediate q into rt using i_name, i_name; 
 -- "i_name" appears twice because of ":Param1" appears twice in the string "q"
  o_surname := rt.surname;
  dbms_output.put_line(rt.surname);
end;

since there's only one parameter, then :Param1 is matched with i_name. If we had more than one parameter, then all should be matched in the appearance order of the bind parameters in the sql string with comma seperated variables such as i_name, .... in the using list.

If that query is used as a a source for a report region, then you don't have to use dynamic SQL, but a simple OR condition:

select * 
from tb1 t
where (t.name = :param1 or :param1 is null)

The same would work elsewhere too.
