I was doing some tests, where I inserted some records of java bigDecimal to a varchar2 column in Oracle.
What I wanted to do was insert java bigDecimal to number column in Oracle.
I am wondering how the 2 work differently and what interim conversion steps does Oracle take in the scenarios.
- BigDecimal =>Varchar2 column
BigDecimal=>Number column
Can I still use the findings from my previous tests. I am mostly looking at latency, throughput etc.
I did not find any measurable performace difference. This was just a test of a prototype so I can use the results.
