big binary number to decimal

[Viral Thakkar]

Hello All,

I have a requirement to convert a big binary number (as input to me in form of String) to a decimal number and then persist this decimal number in Number(38) data type column of oracle database table.

Please suggest as which data type I should be using to hold this big decimal number and how to convert this binary representation string data to decimal number.

Thanks.

Look at the API for java.math.BigInteger.

Have you taken a look at the API about java.math.BigDecimal?

Thanks.

Solution:

BigInteger bigInt = new BigInteger("100010001000100010001000100010011000011100010001000100010001000100010011000011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111100",2);

BigDecimal bigDec = new BigDecimal(bigInt);

Then use this BigDecimal object to persist the data in Number type in oracle database table.
