RE: number to binary conversion

Steven,

For decimal to hex, a to_char function using the "X" element can be used. There are certain restrictions -- refer to the Number Formats table in the SQL manual for more info. Here is an example:

  1* select to_char(10,'XXX') from dual
SQL> / TO_C

   A

For a more robust solution that goes both ways, and, deals with conversions between various bases, take a look at:
