Just issue a SELECT statement on the binary column.
create table bin (
i int not null primary key identity (1,1),
b binary (8) -- binary column
)
go
insert bin (b) select cast(0xFF as int)
select i,cast(b as int) mybin from bin
i mybin
-- --
1 255
(1 row(s) affected)

|||Depends. Do you know what format the data is in? You'll probably need to do
this in a client application. For example if it contains a graphics file or
Word document then you'll need to open that in something that can interpret
the format.
