Answer Posted / neha k
to_char function can take both Number and String Values but
one at a time.
ie. select to_char(10) from dual;
select to_char('10') from dual;
both are valid.
Another form of overloaded function to_char accepts two
arguments first is Date and second if its format in which
it needs to be converted as string.
ie. select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD') from dual;
