So using the zigGIS ArcMap/PostGIS provider one could adapt it to read OGR
datasources, like QGIS does. You would then access SpatiaLite and potentially
all other OGR formats from ArcMap. Good idea.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Well, if SpatiaLite offers some "proper" benefits and disseminates
through all of the FOSS world, then it may get a strong enough push even for
ESRI to pick it up. It happened before... (kml?)<br>
<br>
If SL would:<br>
<br>
<br>
1) Be as fast as shapefile in production settings, desktop
and webgis<br>
<br>
2) Offer SQL support, spatial and otherwise, also through
desktop tools like QGIS<br>
<br>
3) Allow editing while serving (even if for 1 editor only)<br>
<br>
4) Better support in QGIS than for shapefile (take
advantage of Spatial SQL, all other functionality)<br>
<br>
5) Same for MapServer, GeoServer, gvSIG, et al.<br>
<br>
6) Allow easy managing of rasters inside the .db file,
through QGIS<br>
<br>
7) ??more ideas/requests??<br>
<br>
Then it would be a very, very good contender... and the ball would be kicked to
"the other side".<br>
And it seems we're already there for some of the listed features.<br>
