title: What’s the easiest way to preview data from an image column?
body: <p>I have some columns with <code>image</code> data type and I want to preview (or browse) the data in those tables. When I use <code>Select top 1000 rows</code> in SQL Server Management Studio, the value of image columns is displayed in hexadecimal. What’s the easiest way to preview those images since the hex-value is not useful to me?</p>
  
  <p>PS.: database is not under my control, so changing data type is not an option.</p>
