Bind variables in SQL Developer 18.1 which begin with a zero and whose entire content is numeric ('0123') SOMETIMES has the leading zero trimmed off.
Testing PL/SQL code within a SQL Developer worksheet I have the following block:
DECLARE
v_value VARCHAR2(255) := :i_value;
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('v_value is ' || v_value);
END;
/
When executing this block I am prompted for the value of ":i_value" and I specify (without quotes) "0123"
Here is output:
v_value is 123
This is a simplified example. In my "real" code I am passing bind variables to procedures/functions and "0123" is the value of a VARCHAR2 column within a row in a table. I don't recall this ever happening until a week or two ago. With that said, it's not often I'm passing in bind variables with leading zeroes which could be interpreted as a number. If I specify a value for the bind variable as "0123K" (without quote) it works as expected. I can shut down and restart SQL Developer and the problem typically persists. As a work-around I'm hardcoding (with quotes) '0123' in place of the bind variable, which obviously works -- but am hoping that someone has an idea or that the bug might be fixed soon.
