View DB2 BLOB Content: Quick Guide

To view the content of a BLOB field in DB2, you can use the following steps:

1. First, connect to the DB2 database.
2. Query a table with a BLOB field using the SELECT statement, and pass the value of the BLOB field as a parameter to the GET_BLOB_FILE function. For example:

SELECT GET_BLOB_FILE(blob_column) FROM table_name WHERE condition;

In this statement, blob_column is the name of the column containing a BLOB field, table_name is the name of the table containing the BLOB field, and condition is the criteria used to filter data.

1. Running the above SQL statement and viewing the results will return the content of the BLOB field. It’s important to note that BLOB fields typically store binary data, so the content may not be displayed directly and further processing may be required to view the actual content.
