Large text (and binary) values are hard to show right now in the edit
grid and in the query tool. My current idea is to show the text
truncated (if it's too big to fit in the cell), and showing an ellipsis
at the end. And have a way to show the complete value in another window.
This could allow us to display the value in different ways if it's a
binary value and that its format is an image, or something else.

No problem :)

We really are interested by user feedbacks.
