DUMP function is useful for this purpose.
SQL> select dump(C1) from test;
DUMP(C1)
---------------------------------------------
Typ=96 Len=4: 48,49,53,48
Typ=96 Len=4: 48,48,49,48
Typ=96 Len=4: 48,48,53,48
Typ=96 Len=4: 48,49,48,48
Where :
Typ is Oracle data type ( In this case CHAR ), Len is data length. By default, the trailing numbers are stored data in decimal.
Users can add base number as second parameter.
SQL> select dump(C1,16) from test;
DUMP(C1,16)
------------------------------------------------
Typ=96 Len=4: 30,31,35,30
Typ=96 Len=4: 30,30,31,30
Typ=96 Len=4: 30,30,35,30
Typ=96 Len=4: 30,31,30,30
And if second parameter is 10xx, character set information will be displayed.
SQL> select dump(C1,1016) from test;
DUMP(C1,1016)
--------------------------------------------------------
Typ=96 Len=4 CharacterSet=JA16SJIS: 30,31,35,30
Typ=96 Len=4 CharacterSet=JA16SJIS: 30,30,31,30
Typ=96 Len=4 CharacterSet=JA16SJIS: 30,30,35,30
Typ=96 Len=4 CharacterSet=JA16SJIS: 30,31,30,30
Note that the DUMP function does not support LOB data.
