Re: How to display stored image as bytea or as large objects?

If you have the binary data for the image in the bytea field, DBeaver will
display the image when you select that field in table view of the data.
The field will display something like "ÿØÿà JFIF [nnnnn]" in the row
(first part of data as unicode, and data length in bytes), you won't see
the image unless you put focus on it.
