[Qgis-user] Layer extent

[Alexandre Neto]

Hello Marco,

As far as I remember, there's no GUI interface just for that purpose.

You can change the view on the database side to include that extent
condition. Depending on how your view is constructed, that will probably
trigger the spatial indexes.

Alternatively, you can set a filter on QGIS side, you can use for example
ST_intersects if you are on PostGIS. What I am not sure is if indexes are
used or not. They
