[SQL] Hex to Number conversion

Hi,

We have a Oracle system were the hex characters are converted to number
using TO_NUMBER function, like below.

sql> select to_number('cd08cfba70ede0a2','xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx') from dual;
 TO_NUMBER('CD08CFBA70EDE0A2','XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
--------------------------------------------------              14774286977254416546


How can I achieve the same in postgres.

# select to_number('cd08cfba70ede0a2','xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type numeric: " "
Time: 142.581 ms

Regards,
Anand
