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.

Hi,
I am a novice in postgresql language.
By reading the documentation about storing binary data in postgresql
database, I realize that that one can store images as binary data by
using bytea or BLOB data types.
I am running postgresql on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and using pgAdmin4 in
Desktop mode.
I have stored an image in one of my table with this command:
<code>
insert into leckek
(az, a_tanitas_nyelve, mely_negyedevben, mely_osztalyban,
mely_tagozaton, mely_orakon, a_tanitas_temaja,
a_lecke_neve, a_lecke_gyakorlati_reszenek_neve,
a_lecke_gyakorlati_reszenek_dokumentuma,
a_lecke_elmeleti_reszenek_neve, a_lecke_elmeleti_reszenek_dokumentuma,
a_lecke_elmeleti_reszenek_tesztje)
values (default, 'Hu', 1, 5, 'b', '1-2', 'Élet és mukakörnyezet',
'A technika és technológia fogalma, szerepe és jelentősége',
'másolás',
default,
'A lényeg',
lo_import('/home/pali/Irataim/Iskola/IskolaEv_2020_2021/MuszakiOraim/Digitalis_Tananyagok_Orakra/Hu/5/5_osztaly_Tananyag_01_02_orara.png'),
default)
</code>
so I have now in this table the first row:
1 "Hu" 1 5 "b" "1-2 " "Élet és mukakörnyezet" "A technika és
technológia fogalma, szerepe és jelentősége" "másolás" "A lényeg" "16800"
Here the 16800 is the OID of the binary data, the image.
I would like to know how can one display this stored image somehow by
using some IDE for manage databases?
In applications like pgAdmin4, Libreoffice Base, pgModeler, DBeaver one
can't display this stored image.
In SQLiteBrowser (this is an IDE for SQLite databases) one can display
with easy the stored image.
So is there an easy way to display a stored image in postgresql?
