[Qgis-developer] GSoC proposal: DBManager

[G. Allegri]

Giuseppe, it would be definitely important to have such a feature in QGis.
I imagine an abstract layer that operates thorugh pluggable drivers, as we
can find on other desktop gis (like the db manager [1] for Gvsig).
Good luck for your GsoC proposal!
