It'll probably get fixed someday, but the solution is not trivial;
don't hold your breath. I'd guess that it might happen two or three
releases from now, say six months to a year away. (This has been
discussed many times before, so check the pgsql-hackers list archives
if you want details about the technical issues.)
In the meantime, your options for large text fields are (1) split them
into multiple database records, or (2) store them in "large objects".
Both are pretty ugly :-(
