Title: interesting floating point problem with oracle

ran across something interesting on metalink.


from
Doc ID:  Note:1012478.7


Problem Description
===================

Doing floating point arithmetic involving multiplication and division
causes unpredictable results.  For example, if you issue the following
select statement from a SQL*Plus session, the result would be "~" which
is incorrect.

select 62.323/62.323 from dual;
