Hey guys... I need to write a dynamic query for a table and I think I've got the right idea based on examples from the oracle docs. But I'm getting an exception when I try to execute this from my service. From the exception, it looks like one of the operators is incorrect, but I don't see a problem with them. Anyone care to take a look?

Exception:

ORA-00920: invalid relational operator
ORA-06512: at "SINC.EQUIPMENT_MGMT_PKG", line 89
ORA-06512: at line 1

The second error is pointing at the whitespace after the line "v_where:= ltrim(v_where, ' and');"
