Name

TO_SINGLE_BYTE

Synopsis

TO_SINGLE_BYTE translates multibyte characters to their single-byte equivalents—exactly the reverse of what TO_MULTI_BYTE does. The specification is as follows:

FUNCTION TO_SINGLE_BYTE (string IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2

The datatype returned by TO_SINGLE_BYTE will always correspond to the input datatype. See the discussion of TO_MULTI_BYTE for an example of TO_SINGLE_BYTE in use.
