My stack_requests table has a field named inventory_filter of type text.  The size of that field is not specified.  It can contain a string several hundred characters long.  Using PgAdmin, how can I see the entire inventory_filter field for a given record no matter how long it is?  A query like "select * from inventory_record where key = 'some_key' " gives me a grid, and no matter how big I make the inventory_filter column, I can't see the whole thing.  Event if I limit my query to the inventory_record column, the display is limited to the width of my monitor, which is often not enough.  How can I use PgAdmin to see the entire field?

In PgAdmin's config, you can change how much is returned:

File > Options > Query Tool > Max. characters per column
