I am trying to convert binary data to a bigint so I can do bitwise
operations on the data, and I'm having trouble doing it.
I noticed that if I have binary data and I:
select data>>1; I get 0 (not what I'm expecting).
Here is a test procedure I wrote:
create procedure test20 ()
BEGIN
DECLARE fdata BLOB;
DECLARE foffset INT UNSIGNED;
DECLARE flength INT UNSIGNED;
DECLARE tmp_int BIGINT UNSIGNED;
SELECT 0xABCDEF0123456789 INTO fdata;
SELECT 14 INTO foffset;
SELECT 7 INTO flength;
SELECT SUBSTR(BINARY(fdata),
FLOOR(foffset/8)+1,
CEIL((flength + (foffset %8 ))%8))
INTO fdata;
SELECT HEX(fdata);
SELECT CONVERT(fdata,BIGINT) INTO tmp_int;
SELECT HEX(tmp_int);
END
The last two selects are added to show what I would like to do, but have
not been able to get it to work.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
