ROWID_BLOCK_NUMBER

This function returns the database block number for the input ROWID
dbms_rowid.rowid_block_number(
row_id     IN ROWID,
ts_type_in IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'SMALLFILE') 
RETURN NUMBER;
SELECT dbms_rowid.rowid_block_number(rowid)
FROM bowie_stuff;
 
ROWID_CREATE

Constructs a ROWID from its constituents
dbms_rowid.rowid_create(
rowid_type    IN NUMBER,
object_number IN NUMBER,
relative_fno  IN NUMBER,
block_number  IN NUMBER,
row_number    IN NUMBER)
RETURN ROWID;
TBD
 
ROWID_INFO

Returns information about a ROWID, including its type (restricted or extended), and the components of the ROWID
dbms_rowid.rowid_info (
rowid_in      IN  ROWID,
rowid_type    OUT NUMBER,

ROWID_OBJECT
This function returns the data object number for an extended ROWID. The function returns zero if the input ROWID is a restricted ROWID. dbms_rowid.rowid_object(rowid_id IN ROWID) RETURN NUMBER;
SELECT object_id
FROM user_objects
WHERE object_name = 'BOWIE_STUFF';

SELECT dbms_rowid.rowid_object(rowid)
FROM bowie_stuff;
 
ROWID_RELATIVE_FNO

This function returns the relative file number of the ROWID specified as the IN parameter. (The file number is relative to the tablespace.)
dbms_rowid.rowid_relative_fno(
row_id     IN ROWID,
ts_type_in IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'SMALLFILE')
RETURN NUMBER;
SELECT tablespace_name
FROM user_tables
WHERE table_name = 'BOWIE_STUFF';

SELECT file_id
FROM dba_data_files
WHERE tablespace_name = 'UWDATA';

SELECT dbms_rowid.rowid_relative_fno(rowid)
FROM bowie_stuff;
 
ROWID_ROW_NUMBER
This function extracts the row number from the ROWID IN parameter dbms_rowid.rowid_row_number(row_id IN ROWID) RETURN NUMBER;
SELECT rowid, dbms_rowid.rowid_row_number(rowid)
FROM bowie_stuff;
 
ROWID_TO_ABSOLUTE_FNO

Returns the datafile number providing there are  less than 1022 datafiles
dbms_rowid.rowid_to_absolute_fno(
row_id      IN ROWID,
schema_name IN VARCHAR2,
object_name IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER;
SELECT dbms_rowid.rowid_to_absolute_fno(rowid, 'UWCLASS', 'BOWIE_STUFF')
FROM bowie_stuff;
 
ROWID_TO_EXTENDED

This function translates a restricted ROWID that addresses a row in a schema and table that you specify to the extended ROWID format
dbms_rowid.rowid_to_extended(
old_rowid       IN ROWID,
schema_name     IN VARCHAR2,
object_name     IN VARCHAR2,
conversion_type IN INTEGER)
RETURN ROWID;
SELECT rowid, dbms_rowid.rowid_to_extended(rowid,'UWCLASS','BOWIE_STUFF',1)
FROM bowie_stuff;
 
ROWID_TO_RESTRICTED
This function converts an extended ROWID into restricted ROWID format dbms_rowid.rowid_to_restricted(
old_rowid       IN ROWID,
conversion_type IN INTEGER)
RETURN ROWID;
SELECT rowid, dbms_rowid.rowid_to_restricted(rowid, 0)
FROM bowie_stuff;
 
ROWID_TYPE
This function returns 0 if the ROWID is a restricted ROWID, and 1 if it is extended dbms_rowid.rowid_type(row_id IN ROWID) RETURN NUMBER;
SELECT rowid, dbms_rowid.rowid_type(rowid)
FROM bowie_stuff
 
ROWID_VERIFY
Verifies the ROWID. Returns 0 if the input restricted ROWID can be converted to  extended format returns 1 if the conversion is not possible dbms_rowid.rowid_type(
rowid_in        IN ROWID,
schema_name     IN VARCHAR2,
object_name     IN VARCHAR2,
conversion_type IN INTEGER)
RETURN NUMBER;
SELECT rowid, dbms_rowid.rowid_type(rowid)
FROM bowie_stuff;
 
Demo
A quick question for you, I have a couple of rows in a table which are giving the old 'integer overflow' error from time to time. I suspect the problem is data but I'm not sure. I was wondering how I can get from a ROWID to a file and block number ready for a dump. Can it be done ?

Demo provided by Richard Foote
CREATE TABLE bowie_stuff (
album  VARCHAR2(30),
year   NUMBER,
rating VARCHAR2(30));

INSERT INTO bowie_stuff VALUES ('Man Who Sold The World', 1970, 'Bloody Good!!');

INSERT INTO bowie_stuff VALUES ('Diamond Dogs', 1974 , 'Brilliant');

INSERT INTO bowie_stuff VALUES ('Outside', 1995, 'Underrated Masterpiece');
COMMIT;

SELECT *
FROM bowie_stuff;

SELECT album,
dbms_rowid.rowid_to_absolute_fno
(rowid, 'UWCLASS', 'BOWIE_STUFF') ABSOLUTE_FNO,
dbms_rowid.rowid_block_number(rowid) BLOCKNO, dbms_rowid.rowid_row_number(rowid) ROWNUMBER
FROM bowie_stuff
WHERE album LIKE '%Dogs%';
