Hi,

What do you think, would it be too dangerous to add a possibility to set a 
feature count limit for PostGIS datastore layers? I know I can set scale limit 
for the layer but if I have zoomed to show the whole country when adding some 
layer with millions of features into OpenJUMP is starts to read the whole 
PostGIS table and chokes before it is possible to set the scale limit.

What is dangerous is that user would not always have all the data from the 
PostGIS layer on the visible map. Perhaps there should be a red light burning 
and warning the user that there is a count limit set for the layer? Even better 
if the light burns only if the feature limit has been reached. Technically it 
should not be difficult to set the feature count, just to add "limit 
[max_features]" to all the SQL queries if the parameter is set.
