#1085: PostGIS Quickstart review - remove command line description
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: camerons | Owner: live-demo@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: OSGeoLive6.5
Component: LiveDVD | Keywords: postgis, docs, 6.5
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
I've added the follow review comments into the PostGIS quickstart:
For this quickstart, which targets new users who might not be familiar
with
databases or SQL, I suggest we drop section describing command line
control of Postgres. If we do keep command line information, I suggest
it is moved to the end of the quickstart, possibly added into "Things
you
could try".
Instead, I think the Quickstart should cover:
* Keep Client/Server overview
* Create a database in pgAdmin
* Load a dataset, probably from a shapefile
* Do some SQL queries on the dataset
* Use QGis to view data from PostGIS (using the existing Natural Earth
data). We should be able to keep most of the existing QGis sections
