Hi again

Sorry, haven't looked into it. Since we already changed everything to = CASE on 9.2.0.4.0. The reason wasn't a bug but to be coherent with the = usage of DECODE / CASE. We agreed upon ANSI style stuff (INNER JOIN, = CASE blahblah) since 2 developers have a SQL Server background and seem = to comprehend that faster (no pun intended, they're great).

Thanks,

I can't imagine rewriting all decodes to case statements ... That alone would take more than 6-9 months in our code base.=3D20

Are there any bug# that you know?

Hi Rajendra

I don't know wether this helps or not: We upgraded a dev db from =3D3D 9.2.0.4.0 to 9.2.0.5.0 and as you said, CASE works fine. We have =3D3D rewritten all our DECODE statements to CASE and all of them still work. =3D3D So at with CASE there doesn't seem to be a problem.

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 ...=3D3D20 "and decode('C8','C8',237,0) =3D3D3D = 237" =3D
If
the same statement is =3D3D 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.=3D3D20 Any =3D hearsay?
Known issues? Experiences?
Thanks
Raj
