In Oracle/PLSQL, the vsize function returns the number of bytes in the internal representation of an expression.might be both case oracl having same number of byte..

SQL> select dump(3.141) from dual;
DUMP(3.141)
------------------------
Typ=2 Len=4: 193,4,15,11

1 row selected.

SQL> select dump(384838) from dual;
DUMP(384838)
-------------------------
Typ=2 Len=4: 195,39,49,39

1 row selected.

Each one uses 4 bytes to be stored.

Michel

Following for example is even more impressive Smile

SQL> select vsize(999), vsize(100000000000000000) from dual;

VSIZE(999) VSIZE(100000000000000000)
---------- -------------------------
         3                         2
