Query attribute

[Matthew Edmondson]

When using a OGR Virtual File (often extension .ovf) file to connect to a
database, you can insert a SQL query and only pull certain data. I'm
currently using a similar set up using a MySQL database.
  OGR Virtual Files are documented at:
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_vrt.html
 Good Luck,
 Matt
