 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).
