When you use the built-in Data Export Tool to transfer data from a table to an XML file, what you get for any BLOB data is a very long hexidecimal string of characters.
I am creating backup files for my data, and rather than manually use the data export tool, I'm creating the backup files by clicking on a button. The process that I'm using works fine for all text, character and date items, but I've never had a situation before in which the data was a BLOB (in this case, images). What is the proper method to convert the blob data into a hexidecimal string, like you get from the Data Export Tool?
Thanks!
