About raw types in Oracle

select length(a.object_id),
                 a.object_id,
                 utl_raw.bit_and(a.object_id, '1111'),
                 utl_raw.length(a.object_id),
                 utl_raw.cast_to_number(a.object_id),
                 rawtohex(a.object_id)
            from docversion a
           where rownum < 10
             and rawtohex(a.object_id) = '4BDF388E1870784D919789D209B72376'

函数：utl_raw.bit_and(column_name,'0110')，即二进制按位与函数。

例如：

1111
0001 0001 0001 0001
4BDF
0100 1011 1101 1111
result:0111
0000 0001 0001 0001
8A58
1000 1010 0101 1000
result:0010
0000 0000 0001 0000

Function: rawtohex(column_name), which converts binary to hexadecimal string display format.

raw: literal, unprocessed, that is, binary (in essence, it is in binary format when stored in the computer).

hex: Hexadecimal.

So the function name: rawtohex, easy to remember and understand.

Distinguishing function: rawtohex and rowidtochar

select rowidtochar(rowid), rowid, rawtohex(a.object_id), a.object_id from docversion a where rownum <10

as follows:
