I have a table Table1 which has a Col called "Msg" datatype image<binary>. Msg alreay has the plain text or RTF text as a image datatype (binary)If I execute the following query "Select Msg from Table1 where id =3" then this query is returning the following ASCII/Binary data.Msg = "0x7B5C727466315C616E73695C616E7369637067313235325C64656666305C6465666C616E67313033337B5C666F6E7474626C7B5C66305C6673776973735C66707271325C66636861727365743020417269616C3B7D7B5C66315C6673776973735C66707271325C666368617273657430204D6963726F736F667420"Can any body tell me how can I convert the above binary data to plain text from my query?Thanks for any reply.

Try this:
Select cast(Msg as varchar(max)) from Table1 where id =3I am not sure whether this will handle RTF text.

You would need an RTF to text converter routine to switch the data-types/ If one creates an RTF with some contents and then opens the file using Notepad, you can see what will happen:
WYSIWYG appearance where font names are indicated:
Start of RTF
Arial 10 BOLD Italics
Times New Roman BOLD italics
End of RTF
