I have a string of numbers (6 characters) that represent a number with 4 decimal places.
I want to convert that in an SQL view to a decimal column.
I have it working, but wasn't sure if there was a "better" way.
Example:
My string looks like this: 234950
I want it to be decimal: 23.4950
My SQL statement works... but it looks like this:
TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(myfield,1,2) || '.' || SUBSTR(myfield,3,4), '00.0000')
To get this to work, I had to concatenate the decimal into the string.
Anyone have a better method?
