How to find ASCII value of TAB ?

Sreekanth MunagalaJul 18 2009 — edited Jul 19 2009

Hi Friends,

I am trying to find the ASCII value of the TAB character using the standard ASCII function like:

SELECT ASCII('<TAB>') FROM DUAL;

I am executing the above command in SQL*Plus.

It is not treating it as TAB.
It is treating it as space and giving ASCII value of Space -32.

Please let me know how to achieve this?

Database Version - 9i

Regards
Sreekanth Munagala.
