I have a question

[Brian Estrada]

Does anyone know if you can lazy load columns in exposed? I tried googling but wasn’t able to find any solid answers

[Brian Estrada]

I’m having an issue with having a huge blob as a column so it makes loading a ton of rows really slow

[hfhbd]

Hm, it should load lazily by default. Do you have a sample?

[Brian Estrada]

hmm looking now, I realize that the underlying column was actually set as ColumnType()

I was doing something like this

[Brian Estrada]

override fun readObject(rs: ResultSet, index: Int): Any? {
        val value = super.readObject(rs, index)
        return if (eagerLoading && value != null) {
            valueFromDB(value)
        } else {
            value
        }
    }

I took some inspiration from the TextColumnType() and it seems like it’s working now? but not sure any feedback is welcome

[hfhbd]

Yes, I would use the TextColumnType too. BTW you could use it as base class.
