[Qgis-user] Best way to store temperature info

[Andreas Neumann]

 I think Jorge wants to store data just at a single point (not a full 
 raster). Any QGIS datasource would do: sqlite, PostgreSQL, etc.

 sqlite is easier to exchange with other people, Postgis makes more 
 sense in a centralized multiuser environment. Both have good performance 
 and SQL capabilities, PostgreSQL is of course more powerful.

 Netcdf would definitely be overkill if one stores temperature values 
 just at a single point.
