maybe dumb question but if I have a table with a MEDIUMTEXT column how do I query that table and see what the actual content is? eg SELECT text FROM PRIMARY_TEXT WHERE id = 1. What I get back now is [object Object].

thanks for your help.

UPDATE my table definition:

CREATE TABLE `primary_text` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `active` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
  `text` text NOT NULL,
  `card_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `card_id` (`card_id`),
  CONSTRAINT `source_text_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`card_id`) REFERENCES `cards` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=24 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci

[object Object] sounds like an "Object" was inserted instead of a "string". Such can happen if you are not careful in JavaScript and several other languages.
