Hello!

I have troubles to work with data stored as number(17) in oracle db. After loading data into app, i see a scientific representation of the number, which i can't handle.

Hello!

SOLVED: it was only a problem representing the number. So it was not possible as expected to convert number2string implicit and get first 4 chars for year.

Now i cut milliseconds from timestamp first by dividing number / 1000 on load script.

LOAD VCE_NDATE_CREATED / 1000 as VCE_NDATE_CREATED, ...
