I have a table that has a varbinary field like:
0x83838383838372723 .....
I would like to concatenate this varbinary field to a string, for example:
SELECT CONCAT('Varbinary value is', varbinary_field)
FROM MyTable
I expect the following string:
Varbinary value is 0x83838383838372723
I need to use concat so how to do it?
You might use the built-in function fn_varbintohexstr
:
DECLARE @SomeHexString VARBINARY(MAX)=CAST('This is just some text, which should be a HEX-string' AS VARBINARY(MAX));
SELECT @SomeHexString;
SELECT 'This is concatenated: ' + sys.fn_varbintohexstr(@SomeHexString)
This function existed in 2005 already, but was limited in length . Should be fine with your 2008 environment...
Something like this should work. BTW, it seems the varbinary you posted is not really valid.
declare @Bin varbinary(max) = convert(varbinary(max), 'My binary value')
select concat('varbinary value is: ', cast(@Bin as varchar(max)))
