Just beware of use of undocumented features (REVERSE function is one of them); there's no guarantee that it will work in any of the future releases. So, relying your code on something undocumented perhaps isn't that good idea.

using sql to reverse the number:
you can make use of the SUBSTR()to generate a row and then use SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH().

@mshrkshl

Does it happens that sometimes you post correct answer?
SQL> select reverse(78987345) from dual;
                                 REVERSE(78987345)
--------------------------------------------------
               -0000000000000000000000000000000000

1 row selected.

"length" takes a string as (first) parameter as well as "substr".
NEVER rely on implicit conversion.
