STRCMP_CS
String Comparison but clearly from the two examples at right I remain far from impressed.

Perhaps the "CS" hints at some deeper mystery		 dbms_logrep_util.strcmp_cs(
str1 IN VARCHAR2,
str2 IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BINARY_INTEGER;
SELECT dbms_logrep_util.strcmp_cs('Morgan', 'Mogen')
FROM dual;

DBMS_LOGREP_UTIL.STRCMP_CS('MORGAN','MOGEN')

SELECT dbms_logrep_util.strcmp_cs('Morgan', 'Quantum Fluctuations')
FROM dual;

DBMS_LOGREP_UTIL.STRCMP_CS('MORGAN','QUANTUMFLUCTUATIONS')

UNCL_TO_NAME
Converts a uncl_array to a name_array dbms_logrep_util.uncl_to_name(

DECLARE
 uArray dbms_utility.uncl_array;

  dbms_output.put_line(nArray(1));

END;
