[Qgis-user] Shapefiles

I agree,

Unless someone actually when true the trouble of story the geometry in the database.  Look for x an y columns for point or a geometry column or a WKT format.  If so, you could recreate the geometry from that information.  But chances are you have no such data in the databas.
