what is the difference between binary_integer and
pls_integer

Answer Posted / mkumar.it

Both binary_integer and pls_integer are almost same at front
end, however internal working logic are different. Both are
signed integer. For better performance, use pls_integer as
it uses machine arithmatic whereas binary_integer uses
library arithmatic. Other than this, if calculation
overflows the in pls_integer, it throws exception but
binary_integer does not.
