Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Question about block dump
Answered my own question. The dbms_rowid.rowid_row_nmber procedure does
point you to the row number in the block. I should have tested this before
posting, my bad.

Thank you pointing me to the dbms_stats.convert_raw_value procedure. This works perfectly!
After the original post, I reviewed the dbms_rowid documentation and came across the rowid_row_number procedure. Would the dbms_rowid.rowid_row_number procedure return the row number in relation to the block? I suspect that is the case but not 100% sure.
Cheers!

Check dbms_stats.convert_raw_value.
I don't know when this set of procedures
was introduced, but they can be used to
take a raw input (e.g. your c403135456)
and decode it into a variable of the correct
type.
