OTL 4.0, Example 112 (Group data type override in SELECT, MS SQL Server)

Example 112 (Group data type override in SELECT, MS SQL Server)

This example demonstrates a SELECT statement with a group of numeric columns, being converted into a null terminated string. It is a useful technique when there is a need to read and write number, which are larger than 16 digits. Also, this example demonstrates the overriding of datetime columns.
