DBE_RAW

Interface Description

Table 1 provides all interfaces supported by the DBE_RAW package.

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_RAW_TO_NUMBER

  Converts a RAW value to a NUMERIC value.

  

  The bottom-layer implementation of the number data type in database ORA is different from that in GaussDB, and the raw data type is the hexadecimal representation of the binary stream implemented at the bottom layer. Therefore, the function in database ORA is different from that in GaussDB. You cannot obtain the same number-type data from GaussDB based on the raw data corresponding to the number-type data in database ORA. For details about the number-type data in GaussDB, see the example.

  r	The RAW value to be converted. The value contains 6 to 32767 characters.

• DBE_RAW.CAST_FROM_NUMBER_TO_RAW

  Converts a NUMERIC value to a RAW value.

  

  The bottom-layer implementation of the number data type in database ORA is different from that in GaussDB, and the raw data type is the hexadecimal representation of the binary stream implemented at the bottom layer. Therefore, the function in database ORA is different from that in GaussDB. You cannot restore the raw data corresponding to the number-type data in database ORA to the original number type in database ORA in the GaussDB database. For details about the performance of this function in GaussDB, see the example.
