How can we enter characters as Hexadecimal (HEX) number in MySQL statement?
Following are the two approaches with the help of which we can enter characters as a Hexadecimal number −
By prefix ‘X’
In this approach we need to quote hexadecimal numbers within single quotes with a prefix of X. Then HEX number string will be automatically converted into a character string.
Example
mysql> Select X'5152545678'; +---------------+ | X'5152545678' | +---------------+ | QRTVx | +---------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
By prefix 0x
In this approach, we need to write hexadecimal numbers without any quotes with a prefix of 0x. Then HEX number string will be automatically converted into a character string.
Example
mysql> Select 0x5152545678; +--------------+ | 0x5152545678 | +--------------+ | QRTVx | +--------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
