RE: Hextoraw and rawtohex

You can't perform an hextoraw function on a raw field (If indeed prod_id is a raw field.) Here is the definition from the manual:

HEXTORAW
Syntax  

Purpose
HEXTORAW converts char containing hexadecimal digits to a raw value.

Example
INSERT INTO graphics (raw_column)
  SELECT HEXTORAW('7D') FROM DUAL;
