The term "binary" doesn't specify what type of binary file you have. Is it a COBOL type binary with COMP-3 and perhaps EBCDIC? Without that information nobody will be able to assist.

You can try to extract the entire file contents in a single column and load to the database

Actually, your new requirement is to explain to us exactly what you mean by "binary file" in this context. As noted, without a proper explanation of what you need to do, we're all guessing as to the solution.
