APIs
Table 1 provides all APIs supported by the DBE_RAW package.
API |
Description |
---|---|
Converts a value of the INTEGER type to a binary representation (RAW type). |
|
Converts a binary representation (RAW type) to a value of the INTEGER type. |
|
Obtains the length of a RAW object. |
|
Converts a value of the VARCHAR2 type to a binary representation (RAW type). |
|
Converts a value of the RAW type to a value of the VARCHAR2 type. |
|
Returns the substring of the RAW type. |
|
Performs the bitwise OR operation on raw data. |

RAW data is represented as hexadecimal characters externally, and stored as binary characters internally. For example, the representation of RAW data 11001011 is 'CB', that is, the input for type conversion is 'CB'.
- DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_BINARY_INTEGER_TO_RAW
The stored procedure CAST_FROM_BINARY_INTEGER_TO_RAW converts a value of the INTEGER type to a binary representation (RAW type).
The prototype of the DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_BINARY_INTEGER_TO_RAW function is as follows:
1 2 3 4
DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_BINARY_INTEGER_TO_RAW ( value IN INTEGER, endianess IN INTEGER DEFAULT 1) RETURN RAW;
- DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_RAW_TO_BINARY_INTEGER
The stored procedure CAST_FROM_RAW_TO_BINARY_INTEGER converts a binary representation (RAW type) to a value of the INTEGER type.
The prototype of the DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_RAW_TO_BINARY_INTEGER function is as follows:
1 2 3 4
DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_RAW_TO_BINARY_INTEGER ( value IN RAW, endianess IN INTEGER DEFAULT 1) RETURN BINARY_INTEGER;
- DBE_RAW.GET_LENGTH
The stored procedure GET_LENGTH returns the length of a RAW object.
The prototype of the DBE_RAW.GET_LENGTH function is as follows:
1 2 3
DBE_RAW.GET_LENGTH( value IN RAW) RETURN INTEGER;
Table 4 DBE_RAW.GET_LENGTH parameters Parameter
Description
value
Specifies a RAW object.
- DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_VARCHAR2_TO_RAW
The stored procedure CAST_FROM_VARCHAR2_TO_RAW converts a VARCHAR2 object to a RAW object.
The prototype of the DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_VARCHAR2_TO_RAW function is as follows:
1 2 3
DBE_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW( str IN VARCHAR2) RETURN RAW;
Table 5 DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_VARCHAR2_TO_RAW parameters Parameter
Description
c
Specifies a VARCHAR2 object to be converted.
- DBE_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2
The stored procedure CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 converts a RAW object to a VARCHAR2 object.
The prototype of the DBE_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 function is as follows:
1 2 3
DBE_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2( str IN RAW) RETURN VARCHAR2;
Table 6 DBE_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 parameters Parameter
Description
str
Specifies a RAW object to be converted.
- DBE_RAW.BIT_OR
The stored procedure BIT_OR calculates the bitwise OR result of two raw data records.
The prototype of the DBE_RAW.BIT_OR function is as follows:
1 2 3 4
DBE_RAW.BIT_OR( str1 IN RAW, str2 IN RAW) RETURN RAW;
Table 7 DBE_RAW.BIT_OR parameters Parameter
Description
str1
First character string of the bitwise OR operation
str2
Second character string of the bitwise OR operation
- DBE_RAW.SUBSTR
The stored procedure SUBSTR truncates an object of the RAW type based on the start bit and length.
The prototype of the DBE_RAW.SUBSTR function is as follows:
1 2 3 4 5
DBE_RAW.SUBSTR( IN lob_loc raw, IN off_set integer default 1, IN amount integer default 32767) RETURN RAW;
Table 8 DBE_RAW.SUBSTR parameters Parameter
Description
lob_loc
Source raw character string
off_set
Start position of a substring. The default value is 1.
amount
Length of a substring. The default value is 32767.

-- Perform operations on RAW data in a stored procedure. CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_raw AS str varchar2(100) := 'abcdef'; source raw(100); amount integer; BEGIN source := dbe_raw.cast_from_varchar2_to_raw(str);--Convert the type. amount := dbe_raw.get_length(source);-- Obtain the length. dbe_output.print_line(amount); END; / -- Call the stored procedure. CALL proc_raw(); -- Drop the stored procedure. DROP PROCEDURE proc_raw; |
