ORA-43907: This argument must be a literal or bind variable.

Setting cursor_sharing to force causes to_number( … on conversion error) to throw an ORA-43907: This argument must be a literal or bind variable error:

alter session set cursor_sharing = force;

select to_number(1 default -1 on conversion error) from dual;

With the cursor_sharing_exact hint, the error goes away.

select /*+ cursor_sharing_exact */ to_number(1 default -1 on conversion error) from dual;

Or alternatively, set cursor_sharing to exact:

alter session set cursor_sharing = exact;

select to_number(1 default -1 on conversion error) from dual;
