<p>We are using QGIS 3.12.2 on Windows 10. The Geopackages are located on a samba network share.<br></p>
<p>My questions:</p>
<p>1. Is this setup that bad? <snip><br></p></div></div></blockquote></div><div dir="auto">Yes, it is if you have multiple users. Preventing these kinds of issues is exactly why databases exist.</div><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><p></p>
<p>2. I realize, that we should probably move from geopackage to a database. Do we need PostGIS or can we use PostgreSQL? We don't need more functinality than a geopackage offers (exept multi user read/edit possibility and stability).<br></p></div></div></blockquote></div><div dir="auto">PostgreSQL comes with PostGIS as a standard add-in. For GIS work you will need PostGIS. I would say the primary reason for using PostgreSQL/PostGIS _is_ for multi-user read/edits and stability. I must confess that as a single computer single user I have never set up PostGIS or converted an existing project to PostGIS, so I don't know how difficult the process is (although from the help files it seems pretty straightforward), but I am sure there are many others on this mailing list who can help if you get stuck.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">HTH</div><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><p></p>
<p>Many thanks for some hints that put me in the right direction!<br></p>
