View MySQL Blob Content: Step-by-Step

In MySQL, to view the contents of a blob field, you can use the HEX function to convert the blob field value to hexadecimal format, and then use the UNHEX function to convert the hexadecimal value back to the original blob format.

Here is an example query:

SELECT HEX(blob_column) FROM table_name;

This will return the hexadecimal representation of the content in the blob field.

You can use the following query to convert a hexadecimal representation to the original blob format:

SELECT CAST(UNHEX(hex_column) AS BINARY) FROM table_name;

In this case, hex_column is the column name that was returned in the previous query in hexadecimal representation. This will return the original content of the blob field.

Please make sure to use the correct table name and field name when querying a blob field.
