Re: Storing single numbers in the database

Paul,
The developer believes that numbers are just characters, same as letters,
ergo they are treated the same way in the database. I know that the values
are stored with different types, but beyond that, I don't know what issues
could bite me. I have seen code for other columns defined as CHAR or
VARCHAR2 that use <, >, and <> to pull the desired rows. Would this be
relevant to the discussion as well?
Sandy
The developer doesn't want to translate? What, he thinks 0 and 1 are
letters?
