User-defined Operators
Oracle 9i allows youto create user-defined operators. They are created using the
CREATE
OPERATOR statement and are identified by
names rather than by single characters. Once a user-defined operator is created
it can be used just like any of the built-in operators with the notable
exception that one has to have
EXECUTE privilege to this object.User-defined operators in Oracle
9i behave very similarly to user-defined functions,
because Oracle takes sets of operands for input and returns values.
