What does the undocumented function bitand do? I've tried
select bitand (16, 20) from dual;
I got the value 1. Then I tried
select bitand (16, 20) + 0 from dual;
and got the value 16!
What's that? And why is'nt there the counterpart bitor?
bitand is "documented" only in some examples in the online
documentation.
We are porting our software from DB2 to Oracle. In DB2 there are no
functions bitand and bitor, but I can easily define my own functions
with C code. What to do in this situation with the functions bitand and
bitor?
Thanks for answering!
