Обсуждение: How to view geometry fields as text?
Hi all, I'm using geometry fields which are stored in a large binary representation (so called Well Known Binary). Now I'd like to see the lines and coordinates stored in it as human readable text. Unfortunately, I think, there's currently no way to do this? If yes, I have an idea: There exists a pgsql function called 'st_astext(geometry)'. What about extending the dialog 'View filtered data' with the possibility to apply functions like this in order to view data? Stefan

Ok, fine. But what about extending pgadmin with such a functionality? This could be useful for many data types.
