#1008: Too many columns in select crashes pgsql2shp
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: joshjordan | Owner: mcayland
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: medium | Milestone: PostGIS 2.0.0
Component: loader/dumper | Version: trunk
Keywords: pgsql2shp |

Comment(by joshjordan):
The query string length caused the crash. Its true the dbf spec has a
limit of 255 columns and 255 chars in each column. I have never heard of
or run into a limit on record length. Most tools ignore the 255 column
limit including mapserver, openoffice, and postgis.
