Binning converts a continuous variable into a categorical variable or a categorical value with many values into a categorical variable with fewer variables. For example, salary is a continuous variable. If you divide salary into 10 bins, you convert salary into a categorical variable with 10 values, where each value represents a salary range.
You can bin both numbers and character types (VARCHAR2 and CHAR).
