Description
The given code demonstrates the process of executing dynamic SQL queries using parameterized queries. It starts with setting the inputValue to a specific value, followed by setting the sqlQuery to a SELECT statement with a WHERE condition. The dynamic SQL query is then executed with the input value as a parameter. The code also includes error handling, where any errors in executing the dynamic SQL query are logged and handled accordingly. Finally, the result of the SQL query execution is obtained. This code showcases a common approach to executing dynamic SQL queries and handling potential errors during the process.
