SDU Tools: Convert a hexadecimal character string to a character in T-SQL

On occasions I have to work with binary strings in SQL Server using T-SQL.  The literal values are hexadecimal strings. T-SQL doesn’t have a simple function to just convert one of these character-pair strings to a character.

In our free SDU Tools for developers and DBAs, we added a function HexCharStringToChar to do just this.

You can see the outcome in the main image above.
