Dual Table :

Dual is a table which is created by oracle along with the data dictionary.

 It consists of exactly one column whose name is dummy and one record.

The value of that record is X.

Select * from dual;

o/p :- X.

purpose of this table is mainly we use for the pseudo columns.

Example : select sysdate from dual;

Sysdate is an oracle provided column which returns date and time….

So, if I need todays date and time we can use the above query which again returns only one row.

Also we can use this table to practice some character or number functions which we will go through

In next sessions….
