INTEGER vs NUMBER
602428Sep 24 2008 — edited Oct 2 2008Not sure if this is covered anywhere else.
Recently I was confronted with a datamodel, that defines certain columns as INTEGER.
Usually I have noticed that the standard practice is to have numeric columns as NUMBER.
Is there a real advantage over using a column that is INTEGER vs a column defined as NUMBER. ( Not interested in the decimals at all in this case).
Let me know your thoughts.
