I'm using Oracle8.1,
Yes, I want all the data in the Blob field
I need to check/view the data stored in this field
what information is in that blob? pure text or some binary information? how big is it?

If it contains text information, you can still view or check them through simple sql by using: UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(<blob column>)
