Oracle NaN function

Asked by koudry in Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: nan, oracle

I am writing a sql statement and  I need to be able if the field contains non numeric values.

The field is originally defined as a varchar2, but should actually contain numbers (under normal circumstances). However, it appears that there are strings in some of the fields so I need to find a way to identify them in the sql statement.

I know there is NaN but don't know how to use it.

Is any one familiar with the NaN function?
