Re: Problem with a select in Oracle

I am sorry guys,
You were absolutly right, there is nothing wrong with the '@' symbol.

The problem is that I did something stupid and I was connecting to the
wrong schema in Oracle, so of course I was getting different results
than I was expecting.

But thank you very much for the coding recommendations.

Sorry again for wasting your time,
                         Manuel Valladares
