Hi all.
Thanks to the hard work of Giuseppe Sucameli, the supervision of Martin
Dobias, and
the support of Google for its Summer of Code initiative, DB Manager is now
available.
DBManager's aim is to merge together some QGis DB plugins, e.g. PGManager,
SLManager,
RT_Sql_Layer.
In this moment it works with both PostgreSQL and SQLite databases and it
displays the
list of tables, info about the selected table, table data and preview, but
also
allows to rename/delete tables through its GUI and run query on the selected
database, so at this stage it replaces at all SLManager.
Thanks to Mauricio De Paulo (mauriciodev), now DB Manager also supports
PostGIS Rasters!
The last DB Manager version has support to Import Vector Layer feature by
drag'n'drop
a layer from the QGis browser (or even DB Manager) to a database in the
DBManager
GUI. The Import Vector Layer feature allows to import/copy any vector layer
QGis can
load between different datasources, i.e. PostGIS/SpatiaLite databases and
OGR files.
It's available through the QgsVectorLayerImport class and it has just been
merged in
master branch.
See [1] for an example of use.
Faunalia is committed to support the development of this tool, and other DB
plugin
developers are welcome to join and merge their work, it this makes sense, to
reduce
confusion for users.
Enjoy.
