In Oracle SQL, you can compare hexadecimal values by converting them to decimal values using the TO_NUMBER function and then using standard comparison operators.


Here is an example:

1
2
3
SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE TO_NUMBER(hex_column, 'XXXXXXXX') > TO_NUMBER('ABC', 'XXXXXXXX');


In this example, hex_column is the column containing hexadecimal values, and we are comparing it with the hexadecimal value 'ABC'.


Make sure to replace your_table and hex_column with your actual table and column names. You can also change the comparison operator as needed (e.g., =, <, <=, etc.).
