Hi, this is the final report about the implementation of the QEP https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/171
The QGIS browser now exposes a new "Fields" item for vector layers that can be expanded to show the underlying fields, an icon identifies the base field type. A context menu is available at the fields root level and allows you to create a new field. A context menu is available at the individual fields level and allows you to delete the selected field. At the connection level a new context menu item is available and allows you to create a new table for all DB connections that support the Connections API: - PG - Spatialite - GPKG - MSSQL All the new functions are implemented using the new connections API and exposed to Python for plugins/scripts. There have been many other small improvements in the API and in the browser as part of this work such as homogenization of the error/warning/success reporting (now using the message bar if available and falling back to a dialog if it is not available) and new context menu entries. The following functions are now available in the browser tree using a common abstraction API: - create a new schema - delete a schema - rename a schema - create a new table/layer - rename table/layer - delete a table/layer - truncate a table/layer - refresh a materialized view - list fields for a table/view - add a new field - delete a field Thank you to the QGIS project and to all QGIS sponsors and donors that made this possible, a special thank goes to Nyall Dawson who helped in the design of the API and reviewed the code. Kind regards. -- Alessandro Pasotti QCooperative: www.qcooperative.net ItOpen: www.itopen.it _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
