[Qgis-user] QGIS farm application

[Viktor Kalén]

Hi,

Must say this sounds very intresting! I like youre idea!

I have som experience of using PostGIS to QGIS and must say I'm
impressed (comming from an ESRI environment).
I don't hav any experience in SpatialLite, but maybye this is the way
to go for an easier start.


For PostGIS there are some really useful plugins for QGIS wich helps
in managing the database (maybye there are similar plugins for Spatial
Lite?)

The one I use the most is called PostGIS manager. Here you can upload
dbf tables to your database. I guess you can easaly export from
OpenOffice to dbf?


Good luck!

Viktor
