quan and numc

Hi rani,

1. There are differences at

a) usage level

b) database level

2. usage level :

quan : we can enter numbers with decimals

(we cannot enter alphabets)

numc : we can enter numbers (without decimals)

(we cannot enter alphabets)

(NUMC is treated as a string only,

(they are not meant for calculatin purpose)

3. database level :

quan : the field type is NUMBER with decimals

NUMC : the field type is CHAR
