_Event data management_
I have a postgis table for historical events, which can be of any
geometrical type.
The events can have links to other events (using references like
previous_event_id).
Currently, I have to add the postgis table four times. Once for each
geometry type, plus once as a no-geometry table so that I can have the
full attribute table to be able to use the relations widget.
At this point, every setting (filtering, labels, actions, symbols...)
must be made four times,
In general I think that we end up defining different symbols for
different geometries anyway, i do not see how a point and an area can
have the
same simbology; also there are specific postgis functions that make
sense to use for specific geometry (i.e. ST_Area).
I do not want to say that i'm against the idea of mixing geometries, but
to me it sounds a bit like loading "varchar" and "float" in the same column
and eventually ending introducing more complications than benefits, just
my opinion,
best, Roy.
