Anish,

Thanks for the kind words. Try the link now. (the script was actually there but somehow the link had gotten messed up in the post) Should be fixed now.

create or replace function enkitec.display_raw (rawval raw, type varchar2)
return varchar2
is
/* as suggested by Greg Rahn */
cn number;
cv varchar2(32);
cd date;
cnv nvarchar2(32);
cr rowid;
cc char(32);
begin
if (type = ‘NUMBER’) then
dbms_stats.convert_raw_value(rawval, cn);
return to_char(cn);
elsif (type = ‘VARCHAR2′) then
dbms_stats.convert_raw_value(rawval, cv);
return to_char(cv);
elsif (type = ‘DATE’) then
dbms_stats.convert_raw_value(rawval, cd);
return to_char(cd,’dd-mon-yyyy’);
elsif (type = ‘NVARCHAR2′) then
dbms_stats.convert_raw_value(rawval, cnv);
return to_char(cnv);
elsif (type = ‘ROWID’) then
dbms_stats.convert_raw_value(rawval, cr);
return to_char(cnv);
elsif (type = ‘CHAR’) then
dbms_stats.convert_raw_value(rawval, cc);
return to_char(cc);
else
return ‘UNKNOWN DATATYPE’;
end if;
end;
/

Also I added a link in the text of the post.

On the script build_bind_vars.sql, would you be able to post/share the enkitec.display_raw() function? (The Oracle sqltxplain util has the sqlt$a.boil_raw() function - just curious on your approach). Thanks, Jim.

Oh, I meant to mention that Dion Cho has good post regarding v$sql_bind_capture here:

And Jonathan Lewis had a short post which generated a fair amount of discussion here:
