Using "$" in Oracle queries being run from C#

I want to run an Oracle query which is somewhat like:

SELE开发者_Go百科CT * 
  FROM v$sql 
 WHERE ......

But when I use "v$sql" in C#, I am getting an error "Invalid character".

When I remove that part of the query and replace it with some other table name, it is running fine.

I'm not familiar with C# but try putting v$sql in double quotes: "V$SQL"

Double quotes makes Oracle case sensitive so it needs to be uppercase.

Or try a synonym:

create synonym  my_v_sql for sys.V_$SQL;
or 
create public synonym  my_v_sql for sys.V_$SQL;
