How to locate an image saved through the image uploader in the database?

0
Hello everyone! I have a Mendix application deployed on Google Cloud, connected to its own deployed PostgreSQL database. In this database, I have an entity (for example, "Image") that generalized with System.Image. I upload objects of this entity using a standard uploader. These images are displayed in the Mendix application without any issues, retrieving from the database as expected. However, I also need to access these images in another application built with Node.js, which successfully retrieves all the necessary information, except for the images. In pgAdmin, I found the image in the system$filedocument table as an object of the "Image" entity. The hascontents column is set to true, and the size column has a non-zero value (49156), but the contents column shows null. This results in my Node.js application also receiving null for the image contents. Could you help me understand where to find the image I uploaded via the uploader in the database? Or what could be causing this issue?

The contents are not saved in the database, but in an external file storage. See also https://community.mendix.com/link/space/app-development/questions/102484
