    It's correct that PL/SQL doesn't have any function for sanitizing input. But
    you can make your own function in PL/SQL using bind variable as input.
    By using bind variables in PL/SQL Block you can sanitize any input from
    client.
    Bind variable’s session is open only for individual client who has requested
    that session. They also provide very strong protection against SQL
    Injections.
