Whether or not the specified query is a partial one. A partial query is the 'where' clause or the 'order' (if it starts with order) clause of the SQL query. Queries are partial by default. If partial="false" is specified then the full query is to be entered as value for the query attribute and you need to make sure that the query produces a result-set containing all of the CMP fields. This is useful when doing advances queries involving table joins and similar.
