bitwise exclusive OR in Oracle

In SQL Server I have been using the ^ symbol however that doesn't seem to work in Oracle. How do I do a bitwise exclusive OR in Oracle??

Thanks

From stackoverflow

• Here's an article about creating a BIT_OR method. (thanks Quassnoi)

  Quassnoi : No, the article describes how to make an UDF for BIT_OR, it's not a standard expression.

  Ólafur Waage : Alright... Thanks

• There is the BITAND operator:

  select bitand(49,54)+0 from dual;
  

  You can build up the other operators from it; and here.

• There's no easy way.

  You may cast string HEX values into RAW values and use UTL_RAW:

  SELECT UTL_RAW.bit_xor(HEXTORAW(TO_CHAR(1, 'FMX')), HEXTORAW(TO_CHAR(2, 'FMX')))
  FROM dual

• From the docs:

  function bitor(p1 number, p2 number) return number is
  begin
    return p1-bitand(p1,p2)+p2;
  end;
  
  function bitxor(p1 number, p2 number) return number is
  begin
    return bitor(p1,p2)-bitand(p1,p2);
  end;
  

  To see that these work, follow the logic with just 0s and 1s for input, and then not that there are no borrow or caries.
