[Qgis-user] Spatialite VIEW in QGIS question

[Olivier Dalang]

Dear Bernd,

I encountered some similar problems with Spatialite views, but in the end I
had it working (sometimes) both in 2.0 and in master... I used the manual
method from the spatialite cookbook though (not the Spatialite GUI).

I have no time to test now, but from what I recall, this does not work :
CREATE VIEW AS SELECT name, geometry FROM table
while this works :
CREATE VIEW AS SELECT ROWID, name, geometry FROM table

Maybe you want to give it a last try. I can testify I have some working
spatialite views here. Let us know if this works, if not I may give it a
better look when I have some time.

Another method is running a SELECT query in the DB Manager in QGIS, and
then choosing "Add to map canvas". This is not an actual sqlite view, but
depending on what you need, it could be enough.

Good luck !

Olivier
