Hi Pietro,

what I do in similar cases (creating Views, not sure if it works with SQL layer) is: SELECT min(my_pk_column), ST_Union(ST_Buffer(geom,500) as geom FROM public.mytable

Hi all

I tried to load in Qgis, by using fast SQL layer, a query like this:

SELECT (select ST_Union(ST_Buffer(geom,500)) FROM public.mytable) as geom;

This query make a buffer of the features in mytable and union them in a
single polygon (if contiguous).

It works in pgadmin and in openjump but not in Qgis, because Qgis need a
unique value (integer) column coming from the query.

Of course I can make a SELECT INTO mynewtable adding a serial field "gid",
but if I have a lot of steps to perform my spatial analysis I fill my db
with a lot of temp data.

So, is there some way to make a "volatile" integer unique field in the above
query so Qgis will be happy with it ;-)?

I'm using Qgis 1.8 Postgis 2

Thanks
Pietro
