nice addition, pedro!

yes, the OP should open a TAR. but I for one appreciate knowing that there is a problem with the syntax that he's trying and would welcome more 'heads-up' like this. plus, i'm quite sure we are all aware that oracle support isn't always the best at trying out alleged bugs, so i don't think it's too bad an idea to post a test case here. and, as an instructor and consultant, i certainly want to increase my knowledge of what things don't quite work, whether or not its a feature or syntax that i generally use

all in all, the OP's issue was not really all that different from your recent attempts to obfuscate number columns -- from which we all learned that 10g release 2 will have it built in
