In April there was a discussion GIS clients used for working with PostGIS, with a lot of support for OpenJump, QGIS, and uDig.
I'm curious to hear people's strategies for visualizing attribute data. I'm doing some spatial querying, but most of my GIS data is stable. I've got census tracts, they don't change, but I need to grab different combinations of census data and calculated data. Some ways I can think of to do it include: 1) Views to link spatial data to attribute data. (I then add a row to geometry_columns with the view name.) 2) Materialized view, creating a new table with the desired spatial and attribute data. Main worry is the materialized view getting out of sync if I change the attribute data. 3) Export to shapefile. Any opinions, strategies, ideas about the advantages or disadvantages of these strategies? I'm using ArcGIS with zigGIS, but also playing around with QGIS and uDig, all of which can work with PostGIS layers or shapefiles.
