Andrea - That's a standard message when you perform a select * against a table with a BLOB column, or explicitly select the BLOB column via SQL*Plus. You say that you don't know how data got into the table - are you sure that data is actually in the BLOB column? You can use the DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH() function to see if there is really any data in the rows.
