Re: Convert block dump data (data type number)

Hi Alex,

You can convert the raw hex to a number using the UTL_RAW package:

SQL> select utl_raw.cast_to_number(replace('c2 4a 46',' ')) from dual;

UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_NUMBER(REPLACE('C24A46',''))

                                        7369

1 row selected.

Cheers,
Tim
