Hi, I'm developing a new feature to save SLD and ui in Spatialite provider in the same way this function is available for postgres.
this function developed for Faunalia is funded by ARPA Piemonte fork is available at: https://github.com/luipir/QGIS/tree/spatialite-savestyle and actual modification are localized in this commit: f058bea1fe51116b8231eb5c1ca4faee485c38b2 there are some question about how to develop it and are related how to manage XML in a sqlite/spatialite table. this code derive by the postgres provider code where QML and UI xmls are recorded in a XML column. XML is a postgres type. This type is not available in SQlite but it's available in SL 4.1> (called XmlBlob [1]) In this preliminary commit XML is saved in a text column, but saving XML as a blog (blob type in sqlite or XmlBlob in SL) have the advantage to avoid all encoding problems. so the question is... sqlite blob or spatialite xmlbob? Blob type can't allow XML parsing using SQL queries XmlBlob allows this (using libxml2) Blob type is sqlite native type XmlBlob can be used only with SL 4.1> My preference is to use native data type Blob. What's you opinion about blob/ xmlblob or whatever regards, Luigi Pirelli ([email protected] - [email protected]) [1] https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/wiki?name=XmlBlob-intro
