Is there a way to get Splunk DB Connect 1 to parse a binary column into Splunk-friendly ASCII?

[mcomfurf]

I have a DB Connect query for which the results in one column read as ***** BINARY ***** Is there a way to get DBConnect V1 to parse that column into Splunk-friendly ASCII?

The best way to resolve this is to use SQL's CAST or CONVERT command to turn the column into something that Splunk can parse.
