We have an SQL which uses the digits function to convert a field to character format for use in a where clause. I understand that this forces the SQL to be despatched to the CQE. Would creating a view which performs this transformation overcome this problem? In other words create a new column which incorporates the digits function on the original table column and then use the view instead of the original table in the SQL?
