Example 2 - Converting binary values stored in a table to hexadecimal:

CREATE TABLE binary_data (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
data VARBINARY
);

INSERT INTO binary_data VALUES (1, X'FF'), (2, X'C0DE');

SELECT id, data, RAWTOHEX(data) AS hex_value
FROM binary_data;

Output:

id | data   | hex_value
---+--------+----------
1 | FF | 46
2 | C0DE | 43D0DE
