Hi.
These fields do not use any disk space, as the data in them is
derived on the fly.
For example:
CREATE TABLE T_EXAMPLE (
SOME_DATE DATE,
JDATE COMPUTED BY EXTRACT(JULIAN FROM SOME_DATE)
);
A work-around is to create a function, and reference it in every
query, but storing them in the table definition is the "tidy",
low-maintenance way to do it.
Thanks
