Bitand Question

Can someone tell me if the following query:

select bitand(power(2,31),power(2,30))+0
from dual
which returns 1073741824 is correct ? I'm thinking that the result
should actually be 0.

When I run

select bitand(power(2,30),power(2,29))+0
from dual

I get 0, as expected. Am I running into a limitation of the bitand
function ? Is there any documentation on this function?
Thanks.

Hello Terri,

This may be Oracle bug 1355836 - bitand() returns true for any bit
position if bit 31 is set.

Bug is fixed in Oracle9i.

Regards,

Ron
