Thank you. That is good news!

I have a few (let's say below 1000) coordinates in a database. I want to
write some script that emits some file which could be then read into QGIS,
and want to visualize the points on a map downloaded from OpenStreetMap.

It would be nice if I could visualize some data (from the database) by
clicking on a point, and connect points with a straight line. Save this all,
and export it to some vector graphic format. I want to run some analysis of
the lines like total length, etc.

I am a gis newbie, and I don't know what can be done with qgis, what should I do
by hand. I am a generic programmer, so I can write the logic, but I don't know
how to start. I think I'll come here often to ask questions.

Thank you for your help.
