    hmm, this select its very big select, including many tables and
throught func. Making this same query 2 times is without any sens,
pointless. I make this select trought libpq, from server to others PC, and
every Exec need same time, and befor dowloading rows to client memory i
need to know exacly how big is select .... :/

    For example i do select and i dont know name of the cols, but i
know type, and count of cos, and i want to do what i can do with ORDER
 : select * from func() where [1] != NULL order by 1;
[1] == name of first col in this select
