Because of the forthcoming release of Jython 2.5 (after an year of silence), we at Gioorgi.com are checking Brasil compatibility, right now.  What is Jython?... we read from the Jython website:

Jython is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented language Python written in 100% Pure Java, and seamlessly integrated with the Java platform. It thus allows you to run Python on any Java platform.

Jython 2.5 looks very promising, and we are planning Jython support for future Brasil releases.

I stumbled upon a very brain-f**k error on Oracle 10g on these days.

Context: the following query [sql]SELECT * FROM (
SELECT TO_NUMBER(CUSTOMER_ID) AS SNDG FROM BAD_CODES_TABLE WHERE
AND I_LIKE=UPPER('STATIC_CONDITION') AND CUSTOMER_ID NOT LIKE '%P%' ) S WHERE TO_NUMBER(S.SNDG) >2000[/sql] could trigger a Invalid number if CUSTOMER_ID column contains invalid numbers.

    • I_LIKE=UPPER('STATIC_CONDITION')
    • TO_NUMBER(S.SNDG) >2000
    • CUSTOMER_ID NOT LIKE '%P%'
