Thanks to all who have been responding, both on- and off-List.

This just keeps getting weirder.

I set up a test file:

A R FOO
A BAR 85
A BAZ 8A
A QUX 8H

It's the same one I mentioned earlier, except that (because Chuck brought up Hex fields) I added a Hex field to it.

Now, I can't figure out any way to get data into the test file via an SQL INSERT statement: it rejects anything I put in, giving various "invalid data" messages about what I try to stick into BAR.

But I CAN put data in with QuestView. And if I switch QV to Hex mode, I can even put it in as hex.

If I do that, STRSQL will display all 3 fields as character.

But Squirrel SQL displays BAR as a string of discrete hex byte values, with lowercase for digits a-f, separated by spaces, but it displays QUX as a string of undelimited hex digits, with uppercase for digits A-F.

This just keeps getting weirder.
