That's why there are user-defined functions. Oracle can not predict all functions that you might need. So, you can write them yourself.

Don't let me start about SQL Server, in 7.0 there were no user defined function, this problem would be solved with two stored procedures and a temporary table... But that's another story. Received on Thu Jan 10 2002 - 07:00:56 CST
