[Qgis-developer] how to avoid full-table scans to determine primary key, extents?

[Chris Nicholas]

to be clear, PostGIS layers added using the option “select at id” , and then saved within a QGIS XML project file, will load from that project file very fast from then on?

Can I distribute project files with this option embedded in it, so that I might “suffer for the sake of others” and they have a pleasant experience seeing what I have authored?

thank you
Chris Nicholas
