The only type that realistically can be converted to VARCHAR2 is CLOB.
Converting things like JPEG or MP3 to VARCHAR2 would take OCR or even
more complex speech recognition to do. Maybe Alexa or Siri could do it
for you? Personally, I would use pathologically eclectic rubbish lister
to do that line by line. I would read CLOB field into $clob and then do
something like this my @clob=split "\n",$clob; to split it into lines.
I would then re-insert all the lines from the @clob array as varchar2
columns.

Can someone share any function which can allow to insert BLOB data into Varchar2 column? Most of the BLOB data is less than 32K but selecting the BLOB using dbms_lob.substr( l_cur.mylob, 32000, 1 ) or utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2 gave error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Can someone share an example to convert data from BLOB to varchar ?
