Dilip Warrier Edakunny writes "Hi,

I am trying to run the following query, expecting to see 'X'.

SELECT *
DUAL;

But what i receive is a numeric value '9'. Is it because of some setting being done to return 9 instead of 'X'. Would like to know how this can be changed?

thanks,
Dilip."

>>SELECT *
DUAL;

Is it Oracle query?

Better to post at Oracle forum of www.Dbforums.com

I have a question for you Dilip Warrier Edakunny.

When you visited this URL http://www.sqlteam.com/askus.asp in order to send your question as a properly encoded HTTP request, did you read the text that says, in a bold and red font that says :

Well ?
