[OpenLayers-Users] Maximum Number of web features to download

[gbrun]

Hi!

I'm interesting in this issue too. How can I count the points number from  
a layer? I tried something with PostGIS and the NumPoints() function but  
the resulted field was empty. Is there an other way to achieve this,  
trough GeoServer for example?
