[Qgis-developer] Virtual geom column

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

Now that we have virtual columns in QGIS, I wonder if we could improve 
this towards virtual geom columns. Often, there is point (x/y, lat/lon) 
data in some non-GIS database and you only have read-only access. Rather 
than copying this data to some other database/format it would be nice 
being able to visualize the data on-the-fly.

How complicated would it be to introduce such a virtual geom column in a 
future QGIS version?

Thanks,
Andreas
