Commented by: @aafemt Explicit function is fine, but Oracle, for example, does such conversion automatically on cast (both explicit and implicit) of binary data to string and vice versa. |
|
Commented by: @AlexPeshkoff Not an option for us - our traditional behavior for none & octets is byte2byte copy. Afraid changing this can break a lot. |

FB4 already contains functions to transform binary strings to base64 format. That's useful functions but our clients also need hex form. They are building (using firebird stored procedures) various messages in XML and JSON formats which requires hex (not base64) representation of binary data (keys, hashes, etc.). It's highly desired to add such functions to FB4.
