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).
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
SQL theory says that you can restrict a SELECT operation by either row, column or both
