[postgis-devel] GUI Time

[Obe, Regina]

Dave,

I was thinking the same myself but thought I'd wait till Paul has it a
bit more polished before I suggested.  Both are GTK based. 

I could ask on the PgAdmin list the possiblity of doing that.  They are
a pretty responsive crowd as is most of PostgreSQL group.

Now all we need is a visual spatial plugin for PgAdmin and then I can
really have all those graphical addicts lapping up PostGIS.

Thanks,
Regina

This is a very belated comment, but it would be excellent if the 
shapefile GUI loader could be a plugin to PgAdmin.  In my experience, 
people who would want a GUI shapefile loader are the same sort of people

likely to already be using a GUI for DBMS management.

Oracle has an analogous MapBuilder GUI tool which can (among other 
things) load shapefiles, and a Spatial add-on for their SqlDeveloper GUI

management tool, which can view geometries.  Both have some rough edges 
but are overall quite handy.
