embedded function in Oracle database

[Quoted] i am currently doing a project on using PowerBuilder as the front end at the NT and Oracle at the UNIX as the back end.

i would like to know if there is any means for me to put a function in the back end side such that this function can filter data retrieved from the PowerBuilder.

e.g. i have stored some integers in a table in Oracle which are encrypted and when the PowerBuilder retrieves these integers, they will be decrypted and be stored in a data window in their real values. my function is to decrypt those integers, not decrypting it in the database table but the value in PowerBuilder. i do not want the function be in the PowerBuilder as i do not want to add much code in PB.

thanks in advance.

good luck.
