OID Viewing and Editing

System information:

• Operating system (distribution) and version: kubuntu Linux 19.10
• DBeaver version: 7.0.4

Connection specification:

• Database name and version: PostgreSQL 10.12 (Ubuntu 10.12-0ubuntu0.18.04.1)

Describe your question:

How can I view and edit, or down-/upload binary data to/from a file in an OID column? For CLOB/BLOB, this seems to be possible with SHIFT + ENTER on the cell, for OID however, the properties window opens. The release notes for 7.0.2 contain “OID types rendering fix” but it doesn’t seem related. I’ve searched a lot but have anyway overlooked how to do this? Or it is just not possible?

All I could find is to use lo_get in a select which is already quite nice because it will display image data.

Cheers, Torsten

Hello @Postremus

DBeaver uses virtual columns for the client-side and uses Jaxl expressions and functions only. Select will not work. You can read more about virtual columns here: https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/wiki/Virtual-column-expressions

Hi @LonwoLonwo I get the same error as @gitdode, when I configure the virtual column as he did.

If I do a simple query

select lo_get(field) from myentity

I see the file content. The function exists therefore.

Could you please advice us on how to fix this?
