[postgis-users] Character Primary Key

[F T]

Hello List


QGis used to deal only with integer (INT4) primary keys (QGis 1.2
PostgreSQL/Postgis 8.2).

Do you know if it is still the case (QGis 1.4)?

It is annoying for us that QGis can't use existing character primary key...
We have to add an artificial integer primary key and transform the existing
character primary key as a unique non null constraint.

This change is ok if you only use QGis.
But if the data are used by an other soft that was used do deal with this
character primary key, this cause an interoperability problem.

Does QGis still only deal with INT4 primary key?
If the response is yes, is this expected to change in a further version?

Thanks

Fabrice
