从业N年，一直做企业内部系统。
数年前，ITS部门来了一个A国（not USA）人，年龄比咱还小一轮。当然，自小喝洋墨水长大的，英语很溜。有次喝高了，对咱很不客气地说，你念那多书有啥用？我连大学的门都没进过，照样级别比你高一级。我听后很郁闷。但仔细想来，做公司内部系统吧，小学程度，会四则运算，逻辑上不糊涂，就可在世界500强企业的ITS部门混饭吃。
又过了几年，那A国人又高就别处，咱还照样做着小学生就能做的事情。这事情就一个结，从未了结。
最近，终于有个机会让咱用了一回高等数学。给读书无用论一记响亮的耳瓜。
做生意，图回报，这是真理。投入多少，多长时间能收回，这就要计算IRR。用EXCEL的话，简单，用Oracle的话，麻烦。（这不是开玩笑）
IRR如何计算，有兴趣的朋友可参考
WikiPedia：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_rate_of_return
或 http://zainco.blogspot.jp/2008/08/internal-rate-of-return-using-newton.html
或 http://www.corality.com/tutorials/iterative-approach-calculating-internal-rate-return-irr
当npv=0时的r就是IRR。
展开后就是个多项式，
当多项式等于0时，r等于多少？
这个问题没有精确解（解析解），只有近似解（数值解）。
通常使用的方法是Newton-Raphson方法。
咱还是实用主义，先看编码。
原理可参考以上几个URL。
PL/SQL编码
1. 计算XIRR的函数
这段代码是从Oracle Forum上抄来的， http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=549939
必须预先定义2个Type：
create or replace type p_date_array is varray(250) of date;
create or replace type t_amount_array is varray(250) of number;
create or replace FUNCTION "XIRR" (p_date_array in p_date_array,
p_amount_array in t_amount_array,
p_guess in number default 0
)
RETURN NUMBER
