Re: Incomplete pg_dump operation

The semicolon makes a tremendous difference.  Thank you for your patience.

select * from news limit 0; displays a nice little table and 0 rows of data.
select * from news limit 1; displays the same table and the contents of 1 data record.
select * from news limit 5000000000; returns an "ERROR:  integer out of range" message.

select * from news limit 439579; returns an "out of memory for query result" message.
select * from news limit 439580; returns an "ERROR:  could not open relation with OID 2196359751" message.
