Hello There are a few considerations: 1) If you import the data using the loader you can use the NULLIF clause so it will import all zero field as null. 2) Check carefully for usage of the fields in the WHERE part of the SQL. Putting nulls instead of zero can cause the users to do outer

Hi Yechiel, I'm aware of the NULLIF clause. However my strategy has been to bring the entire file in, character based, so I can take a look at the data prior to modifying it. I'm using NULLIF column_name is equal to spaces. I made an even better decision - the users decided they didn't

Hi Yechiel, Any full-table-scan in Oracle 8i (or below) consumes 4 LIOs to the segment header. This number has reduced to 2 in 9i. Given that the 1 row that you are going after is in 1 data block, there is 1 LIO for the data block itself, given you a total of 5 LIOs. You can verify this by

This is a mixture of bad luck and bad design. You have a character column pretending to be a numeric column, and although your query has some code in it to try and ensure that the numeric tests are only made against strings that look like numbers, you have not managed to guarantee that this
