Why is data in all databases stored in HEX?
Parsing the structure of the database, I still could not understand - why do all databases store data in hex without exception? (screenshot below) From the largest databases to the simplest
After all, with each request, resources are spent on constant recoding and hex (according to my personal calculations) weighs 2 times more
Thank you

No, they don't. Show some types of data - can.
For example, MS SQL: data types .
Can't figure out what you've come up with?
Databases store a binary representation of data, depending on their type. No one will recode, for example, numbers into a HEX string, this makes no sense.
