<para>
When binary SQL data is converted to character C data, each byte
(8 bits) of source data is represented as two ASCII characters.
These characters are the ASCII character representation of the
number in its hexadecimal form. For example, a binary 00000001 is
converted to <literal>"01"</literal> and a binary 11111111 is
converted to <literal>"FF"</literal>.

<para>
If <function>odbc_fetch_into</function> is used, passthru means
that an empty string is returned for these columns.
</para>
<para>
If <parameter>result_id</parameter> is <literal>0</literal>, the
settings apply as default for new results.
<note>
<simpara>
Default for longreadlen is <literal>4096</literal> and binmode
defaults to <literal>ODBC_BINMODE_RETURN</literal>. Handling
of binary long columns is also affected by
<function>odbc_longreadlen</function>
