    I would also be interesting in testing your program. Looks quite

            Thanks for the good documentation,<br>
            Would like to mention an undocumented feature coming with
            the last OpenJUMP release.<br>
            <br>
            You can copy the "fence" geometry or the "view extent" in
            your query  :<br>
            <br>
            <img alt="" src="cid:part1.06030204.01070100@eva.mpg.de"><br>
             <br>
            button View (Vue in the screenshot) will copy "${view:-1}"
            where ever you want in the query (replaced by view extent at
            execution time)<br>
            button Fence (Cadre in the screenshot) will copy
            "${fence:-1}" where ever you want in the query (replaced by
            the fence geometry at execution time)<br>
            <br>
            It may help to download small parts of large datasets.<br>

                I'm sure this has been asked many times but haven't
                found a definitive or consensus answer...<br>
                <br>
                Is there a postgis client that supports spatial, ad hoc
                queries and returns those results to a map?  This would
                include simple (and more complex) SELECT statements but
                also other queries with spatial results, such as finding
                nearest neighbors, intersect, union, etc...<br>
                <br>
                The best idea I found was to create a view from the ad
                hoc query and then use a desktop GIS to display that
                view.  You'd need to update the view (and refresh the
                GIS screen) to run a new query.   I know QGIS (and other
                FOSS GIS packages) allows you to create a definition
                query (a where clause to subset the layer) and does
                support database views.  I haven't seen a place where
                QGIS supports ad hoc queries.  Searching the web, I did
                find references to some work done using OpenMap
                libraries back in 2004, and the mezoGIS package from
                around 2005/2006.  <br>
                <br>
                Does anyone know of a GUI tool to use, hopefully one
                that works for Postgres 9 and PostGIS 2?  Thanks.<br>
                <br>
                - John<br>
                <br>
                PS - Thanks for the recommendations on the PostGIS in
                Action book.  I just purchased it and looking forward to
                learning what I can.<br>
