[Qgis-user] RE: Create an ODBC connection

[Alister Hood]

On Windows at least you should also be able to use it by
Layer-Add Vector Layer-File
I don't know how this compares with connecting to it as a database.  
Maybe it is read-only, but when connected to as a database it is 
writeable, or something like that.  Does anyone know?

Alister
