  • RE: Hi to all

    Are you exporting to Excel or something like that?

    If so, you'll need to start over with a blank file, or use the existing "table" (sheet) in the Excel file.

  • RE: Convert varchar to binary or vice versa

    Do you want a binary conversion, or an explicit string conversion.

    E.g.:

    SELECT CAST('Hello world' AS VARBINARY(100));
