Hai Yuvraj Thapa,
Pls check this sql statement.
In this screen, the output is misleading.
The negative value is aligning to the left.
Check the query.
SQL> select * from test;
NAME
---------
-123
0
123
3 rows selected.
SQL> select decode(sign(name),1,name) POSITIVE, decode(sign(name),-1,name) NEGATIVE
from test;
POSITIVE NEGATIVE
--------- ---------
-123
123
3 rows selected.
Cheers,
Giridhar Kodakalla
