Called from where? :) I think Tanel, Mladen and you missed the ironical point -- if it can't be called from SQL why it is a deterministic one? It was very simple question asked for fun -- Mladen who said: "Hey, I'll sue you for using my code. My code is fair and balanced and you cannot use it without paying royalties." :) So, he put "deterministic" clause then. :) P.S.: Tanel, I do not need an example, it was a joke. -- Vladimir Begun The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation. > -----Original Message----- > Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 10:05 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > > > Tanel Poder wrote: > >>Boolean is a datatype existing and usable in Oracle. > > > Deterministic is an Oracle way to tell a function is deterministic, i.e. > > always returning the same result on the same input.
