Goal

 Certain types of non-traditional data are stored as a Variable-length binary large object string (BLOB). For example, you may need to see data related to the creation of an E-Record by examining the content of fnd_log_attachments.content. If you just run a normal select statement, all you will see is (BLOB) in that column. This note explains how to see the full data.
