Hi Samuel,

you could use the layer filter, couldn't you? It's the second last parameter in the setDataSource method.

Good idea, but I need to be able to vary a parameter in the sql expression
to filter the dataset differently as the user requires.
Filtering needs to happen on the sql server, the dataset is far too large
to filter directly within qgis (roughly 100mil rows).

Maybe it's easier to create a view on the DB and load that?

Hi Bernhard;

I can load the layer using an identical query in the DB manager sql
window.
Yes, r.id is a unique key.

Can you load it via the "add PostGIS layer" button?
Is r.id a suitable key (unique)?

Hi All,

I'm trying to load a postigs layer via python which is defined by a very
long sql query. It seems that Qgis is truncating the query (which
obviously
causes it to fail). Has anyone come across this before and come up with
a
solution? Or am I loading the layer incorrectly?

There is an unanswered question on stackexchange regarding this:


http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/162409/how-to-load-layers-from-postgres-using-select-statement

My python code is very simple:
sql = 'a very long query'
uri=QgsDataSourceURI()
uri.setConnection(host,"5432",dbname,user,passwd)
uri.setDataSource("",sql,"geom","","r.id")
vlayer = QgsVectorLayer(uri.uri(),"layer_name","postgres")
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(vlayer)

The debug log shows the following:
qgsmessagelog.cpp(45) : (QgsMessageLog::logMessage) [1ms]
2016-05-26T15:16:14 PostGIS[1] NOTICE: NOTICE:  identifier "...long
query
here..." will be truncated to "...truncated query here..."
qgsmessagelog.cpp(45) : (QgsMessageLog::logMessage) [1ms]
2016-05-26T15:16:14 PostGIS[1] Erroneous query: ...etc

Any help would be great.
Sam.
