[postgis-users] How to make some geometry column visible to Qgis

[Pietro Rossin]

Sandro, According to the chapter 4.3.2 of the postgis 2.0.1 manual (page
31) you're right..

So, I'll use the addgeometrycolumn() function to handle geometry columns,
but..

May be that the technique I used before is a bug in postgis??

Bye
Pietro
