I have a column of type RAW(50) that should be the Primary key of a table. This works fine when I store Oracle generated GUIDS. But - this is also supposed to work with data from some Microsoft program. This is an example of a GUID generated from this other program: 7f293893-9325-4591-a243-f3f165f33b41

When trying to insert this value into the RAW column, I get this error message:

ORA-01465: invalid hex number

What can be done??

Thanks for help on this!!
