Re: Should TO_CHAR be replaced by high level code with pl/sql calls?

what is your coding environment?

if you're using 3GL or anything other than straight PL/SQL, is your consultant suggesting doing something in the host language prior to issuing the SQL?

give some examples -- otherwise any response would just be guessing at the issue the consultant was attempting to address; he may be looney, or he may be addressing something that is not apparent in your short post
