Hi,
To my knowledge, oracle does not provide any functions for decoding URL.
However, you can use perl or java script for the same and call from oracle.
Hope it helps

I'm afraid, not in version 9, but in version 11 (just in case anybody else is looking for somethink like this):

To my knowledge, the UTL_URL -package exists in Oracle 9 Release 2, however I'm not entirely certain of Release 1.

I just added a replace for the '+' and it worked really well. Thanks!
