Result is a resource, not a strong - TimXM - 04-04-2017

Regarding this code in Session_database_driver.php

Code:
            // PostgreSQL's variant of a BLOB datatype is Bytea, which is a

            // PITA to work with, so we use base64-encoded data in a TEXT

            // field instead.

            $result = ($this->_platform === 'postgre')

                ? base64_decode(rtrim($result->data))

                : $result->data;

The issue I'm having is that $result->data is a resource, rather than a string as expected.

We're using DB_driver.php to pull the results.

Any suggestions? I'm new to PostgreSQL, so is this something that can be fixed on the DB side?
