Anyway to checksum a binary field in PLSQL

I have a table with a LONG RAW field. Is there anyway to create a
checksum of the field within PL/SQL? I know how to do it in ProC, 
OCI or Java but was curious about doing the same only using PL/SQL. 
I found a couple of checksum routines for a varchar field. But the 
question I have is how to read byte by byte. Plus I have concerns
about the PLSQL code handling a really large field in this manner.



Thanks for hints.
