In oracle pl/sql

set serveroutput on;
DECLARE
v_str VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
--Create encoded value
v_str := utl_encode.text_encode('Testuser:verySecret','WE8ISO8859P1', UTL_ENCODE.BASE64);
dbms_output.put_line(v_str);
--Decode the value..
v_str := utl_encode.text_decode(v_str,'WE8ISO8859P1', UTL_ENCODE.BASE64);
dbms_output.put_line(v_str);
END;
/

or

select utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw('Testuser:verySecret')))
  from dual;
/
