<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-CH">Hello QGIS-community,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-CH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-CH">We are quite new to working with PostGIS in QGIS 3.2.0, so we have some usability-questions…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-CH">In the Autodesk world (don't hit me </span>
<span lang="DE-CH" style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😉</span><span lang="DE-CH"> ) there is a feature called "create object from geometry".<br>
What it does, is to create a new database-object from an existing selected geometry. After creating the object<br>
you enter the attributes needed and commit it to the database.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-CH">Is there any similar feature in QGIS? Is there any possibility to conviniently copy db-objects from table to table?<br>
We tried db-manager, but it was just good for importing/exporting data, though it's possible to import data from a temporary Qgis layer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-CH">But then we have problems with shortened attribute names in our temporary layers.<br>
So, is there any way to get/preserve long attribute-names in analysis? For ex. If we use "union" or<br>
"intersect" our input-attributes (from PostGIS) are shortened to shape-file-limit (10 characters?) thus it's quite time-consuming<br>
to get data back into the database.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-CH"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-CH">Thx for your worthy hints, best regards from switzerland.<br>
