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.
