Hi,

I have converted Microsoft Excel data into Oracle table using TOAD “Import data”

utility. It is converting data from fraction to decimal but I want data in
fractions
in my table. Please let me know if it can be done.

expected result
Code Tol_minus tol_plus incr1 incr2

Thanks
Sandy

Interesting question. Mathematically a fraction and a decimal value are
