[Qgis-user] QGIS Server and CSV-files

[Tyler Mitchell]

I haven't tried it but you should be able to do it using QGIS's builtin OGR functionality.  You would have to create a XML "wrapper" that defines how to load the CSV file (eg. which columns are x and y).
It's described well at http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_csv.html

Then you would load the XML/VRT file into QGIS instead of the CSV directly.

Hope that makes some sense!
