Hi!
We store a (PASCAL) record in a RAW field of a database table and need to decode it by a PL/SQL routine.
As I know so far, the record fields can be separated using UTL_RAW.substr.
But now I want to convert the returned RAW into a NUMBER.
Any ideas how this can be achieved?
I am not sure whether UTL_PG.raw_to_number can be used, since it has several strange parameters.

WBR,
Robert
