Index on Number & Varchar2

One of the column in a new table can be ename - varchar2(20) or
hase_code_ename - number(11) – Hash Code generated by JAVA.
We are going to create non-unique index on this column as one frequent
query will have where clause on this column only. Choice is either
varchar2(20) or number(11).
1. Is Non-unique index on Number is faster then varchar2? Why?
2. If Number column has negative values, then will it affect
performance of Non-unique index on it?
3. How much space Number & Varchar2 consume? i.e storage space
difference between number(10) and varchar2(10)

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
