Default How to select a LONGBLOB from a table, convert to legible text ( ? )

Hi out there, just wondering if anyone has done this before. I have a
table that upon select * shows in one LONGBLOB column this example
data value (blob).

How can select the column and return legible text ?

Thank you,
Jack

It should just return the data, it that's regular text, so be it. What
kind of interface are you using? Perhaps some CONVERT or CAST might be
needed to give it a little nudge.
