RDBurmon asked:

Hello All ,

I have one table called which has one binary(32) column.

I need to convert the binary column data into human readable format

for example
One of row having below binary data
0x0000000000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The actual string is (Monday)

How can I write sql statement so that it will return me "Monday" by convert above binary values.

Above is just an example but it can be any binary values like (Monday,Tuesday , Wednesday , Monday and friday , Monday and Sunday ETC..)

Thanks in advance.
