PostGIS layer to R using OGR driver imports unwanted raster column as String

Hi, 
right to the point. I? am trying to load?spatial layer from postgis database to R:

obj <- rgdal::readOGR(dsn="PG:dbname=DB host=HOST user=USER password=PSSWD port=5432", layer = "SCHEMA.TABLE(LAYER)")

My table contains more spatial  columns/layers, these are not loaded from database. Thats OK. The only  think is the raster layer, which is not excluded and it is imported to?obj at data?dataframe as String column. Quite annoying thing in case of big rasters which I dont even want to be loaded. rgdal:ogrInfo() report this column as String, so no surprise that it is loaded as such.

I have tried to export layer using ogr2ogr with command:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" abc.shp PG:"dbname=DB host=HOST user=USER password=PSSWD port=5432" "SHEMA.TABLE(SPATIAL_COLUMN)"

The raster column was still there, but the String was much shorter - 254 (obviously it was converted/cut to type character(254)). 

Is this an issue? Because it's seems to me like one.

Thank you
Dead Vil
