store strings of arbitrary length in Postgresql

Question

I have a Spring application which uses JPA (Hibernate) initially created with Spring Roo. I need to store Strings with arbitrary length, so for that reason

Answer 1

Use the @LOB definition, it is correct. The table is storing an OID to the catalogs -> postegreSQL-> tables -> pg_largeobject table.

The binary data is stored here efficiently and JPA will correctly get the data out and store it for you with this as an implementation detail.
