title: Escaping special characters in SQL
body: <p>Is there an easy way in Oracle to escape special characters in a SQL statement? (i.e. %, &amp;, ')  I saw this <a href="http://orafaq.com/faq/how_does_one_escape_special_characters_when_writing_sql_queries">link</a> in regard to manually escaping characters, but I thought Oracle may have provided an easier way to do so.</p>
  
  <p>Note:  I'm generating dynamic SQL select statements through an ORM.  </p>
