Re: equivalent for isdate, isnumeric

This topic came up earlier this week, so just look it up in you mail.

Or check out the archives at www.fatcity.com.

Archives are available at a number of unauthorized locations near you: www.faqchest.com is one I believe.

Came across the function isnumeric, isdate in SQL Server that returns true or false if the input string is in a form that can be converted into a numeric or date type. searched in oracle help and am not able to find an equivalent.
