Hi Patrice,
I would describe it as casting not overloading. If a varchar2 column
contains a string representation of a number and its compared to a
number in a where clause then it will work.
kind regards

Just a little clarification to my own post just in case:
The index can not be use
Wow.
Extremely simple and extremely nice :)

well documented on hotsos. how many are there?

It looks like it always converts a character column to a number (or date)
before comparing, never the other way around:
SQL> create table a ( N1 number );
Table created.
SQL> create table b (c1 varchar2(50));
Table created.
SQL> insert into a values (1000);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into a
Hi!
Which kind of error? And where does it occur? What's the view code?
Oracle does an implicit datatype conversion (if possible) when comparing
different datatypes. Try to add the conversion explicitly with to_number for
example & try then. Note that Oracle can't use indexes in joins for
implici
You can have in a where clause a varchar2 column compared to a number column
, if the varchar2 column only contains numeric then it will work.
