Using quotes for numeric datatype in Teradata - response (2) by dnoeth

Hi Lavendar,
a "quoted numeric" is not numeric it's a string which is automatically casted by the Parsing Engine to the appropriate data type. Like '2013-06-07' is not a date, it's a string but when inserted into a DATE column it will be automatically casted.
What "issue" did your friend have, was there an error, which error message?
