Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Is there any predefined Oracle constants there denominate very large number ?
Question was very clear - Tom Kyte and some other people understood and
immediatelly responded.
Sign of bad IT person: when presented with question/challenge they ask
" Why ? ( do you want to do it; would there be something like it )
..."; or answer is not reply to your question, but something you know
about ( not necessarily related to the question )
I was just asked if something like this exists, and it turns out 10g
has some constants like that,
like above mentioned BINARY_DOUBLE_INFINITY. So problem presented here
is not that unusual.
Fact that you don't know something, didn't think of something, or can't
strech your brain a little doesn't have to provoke
inelegant/mediocre/attacking responses.
And constant can be assigned a value.
