Yes, it will. > I am using postgresql to capture email content (in a text field) and it > is impossible to use pgadmin to browse the table in either the grid or > query window. I'm using pgadmin 1.8.1 and postgresql 8.2.5. How big are the emails? Normally when people run into issues in either tool it's will individual values running into multiple-megabytes (multiplied by however many rows are loaded). > I was wondering if it would not be possible to only put something like > the first line/first 1kb/etc of characters into the grid? (The rest > could be loaded if the user clicks into the field) See the 'Max characters per column' option on the Query tab of the Options dialogue (http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.8/options-tab3.html). This will only affect the query tool, not the edit grid (where the whole point is that the actual data be edited, not a summary).
