    As far as I know, binary files would make no sense as text files - why are you trying to do this? What file types are you trying to 'convert'?

    I guess it depends on what is actually in the files

    Whilst not quite what is described here, I've seen a situation before where an RTF file was being stored in a database in an image field...if you cast it as varbinary and then cast it again as varchar, you got the original text complete with RTF markup tags
