asp displaying long raw field

[bob]

Hi All,

I have an Oracle database which has a field LONG RAW type to store text
files. I'm trying to display the output of this field in ASP but I'm having
problems.

I've gone through many different approaches but they either do nothing or
do
the following;

I've tried doing response.binarywrite(rs("data_object")) and I get
something
like below

<S¿OA~·Ç¸ä?R~m$!»Ä!SZ ÷Ð#Å1ì
{ »3ëÌÛc-4Úhac±ÑhaIâß`¬5±ÔÊØ[Û:»ìý@*d6ïÍ{ûÍ÷¾÷æèä¤?«6÷u?Tx.s"íSaSý?óºDnï+Kìïzü@'6ºMè¥Ô0Ù._

it's not about Oracle, but does this thread help?

This also may help, despite its applying to SQL Server:
