"Generated Always" allowing non numeric data to be saved in number column

edited Jan 11, 2024 1:57PM in SQL*Plus (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered ✓

I am working on an integration project - I happened to notice "Generated Always" in table creation allows non numeric value to be saved in a NUMBER column though it is no longer possible to query the records afterwards. The fix is to to include a validation in the PL/SQL package that is inserting data into the table, but I would like to know if this a bug or any explanation is available why this is be allowed.
