Can I use SUBSTR fuction on a "number" datatype column.

I know it work with character strings. I tested on a "number" datatype columns and it worked in a test table.

I will run that update statement that uses SUBSTR in a very critical production environment, and I wanna make sure that nothing will get screwed up. Here is the simple propsed statement I will run:

update tbl set c2=substr(c1,2,2);

c1 and c2 are both "number datatype.

Thanks for your advice...

hi
substr will work with number data type because oracle support implicit data type conversion !
