Description

Here  http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-1.3/ch04.html#id2571948

It says: The most straightforward means of pulling data out of the database is to use a SQL select query and dump the resulting columns into a parsable text file: However, there will be times when some kind of restriction is necessary to cut down the number of fields returned.

I believe that last sentence should instead say "...reduce the number of RECORDS returned" (This sentence appears in earlier version documentation too).
