Hi, When I try to cast a BLOB/CLOB field in Denodo from Oracle, I get the expected result in my column. Please note that when you apply the [CAST](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/vql/appendix/syntax_of_condition_functions/type_conversion_functions#cast), you should do this in the Edit -> Output tab of the derived view dv_view1 mentioned in the [community question](https://community.denodo.com/answers/question/details?questionId=9060g000000XdR7AAK&title=XML+Data+in+BLOB+into+Columns). For more information about creating derived views in the Virtual DataPort Administration Tool please see the section [Creating Selection Views](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/administration/creating_derived_views/creating_selection_views/creating_selection_views) in the Virtual DataPort Administration Guide. Hope this helps!
