I upgraded a dev db from 9202 to 9205 and one query with a DECODE
statement is giving wrong results. The whole query is big, but decode
statement looks like ... 
"and decode('C8','C8',237,0) = 237"  If the same statement is re-written
using case it works fine. I am searching on metablink but wanted to
check here first. This same query with same decode statement works fine
on 9202 database. 
Any hearsay? Known issues? Experiences?
Thanks
Raj
