[ForestryTools] database/ early design

[Abdoul O. Dia]

Hi Lee,

This could be a way to start and test it. But we need to keep in mind 
that we'll need to handle external files (e.g. csv) and to manage 
spatial data (e.g.: vectors). The relationship between the external and 
spatial data should be kept some how so we can attribute to every single 
point or polygone in a shapefile its related data from the field. In 
this case I think using a database would be easier. What others think?
