PL/SQL digits to words in Lithuanian

A PL/SQL function to convert numbers to words in Lithuanian, may be adjusted to your language rules. Maximum number 999999,99; decimal sign is ",". Execution example:

select EBA_OLS_DIG_TO_WORD('Lt 999999,99') from dual;

Result:

devyni šimtai devyniasdešimt devyni tūkstančiai devyni šimtai devyniasdešimt devyni Lt. 99 ct.

Code:

create or replace function "EBA_OLS_DIG_TO_WORD"

return VARCHAR2

Chrome vs Apex: old issues

When first popular Oracle ApEx versions (like 1.6, 2.0) came out, they had problems with displaying SQL Workshop Object Browser windows on some FF versions, just dont remember which exactly (imho 2.2). Here we are again having the same problem: red screen. This time its new Google browser Chrome. The same problem can be found on ApEx versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.1.2, havent tested this on others. The common solution back then was to add a few directives to Oracle HTTP_Server's configuration file httpd.conf:
AddType text/xml xbl
AddType text/x-component htc
No luck this time. Anyway, Chrome is just beta, hoping to have a better functionality soon.

Chrome myth

Just downloaded new fancy G browser Chrome. It actualy uses more memory than FF does. Chrome just divides it between processess. My FF has 48 tabs opened, it uses 148M RAM, get your calculator and calc this image below, only 24 tabs...
