You can iterate over a binary string in Oracle by converting the binary string to a character string using the UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 function, and then using a loop to iterate over each character in the string. Here is an example of how you can do this:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
DECLARE
  v_binary_string RAW(100) := '10101010'; -- Example binary string
  v_char_string VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
  v_char_string := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(v_binary_string);
  
  FOR i IN 1..LENGTH(v_char_string) LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SUBSTR(v_char_string, i, 1)); -- Output each character in the string
  END LOOP;
END;
/


In this example, the binary string '10101010' is converted to a character string using UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2, and then a loop iterates over each character in the string, printing out each character using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE.
