title: How do I use variables in Oracle SQL Developer?
body: <p>Below is an example of using variables in SQL Server 2000.</p>
  
  <pre><code>DECLARE @EmpIDVar INT
  
  SET @EmpIDVar = 1234
  
  SELECT *
  FROM Employees
  WHERE EmployeeID = @EmpIDVar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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?</p>
