Hi Michel,
I need to read from the row but I guess the SQL you gave will give the hex of string 'michel'. But if I have a data already in the column and i need to read the char data which is already in the table, what can I do ?

Thanks Michel,
Now I got it from your comment.

SQL> select dump(MyTable.colname,16) from MyTable;

is yielding me the expected result. Smile
