[OSGeo-Discuss] database replication

2009-07-06 Thread carlos sousa
Kind Sirs,

Being a novice postgreSQL user, i'm currently transfering from our current
esri/arcsde/arcims/mssqlserver solution to a
postgres/postgis/mapserver/openlayers
solution.
After this is down, the real server will be using software that is
replicated in virtual machines used on external harddrives with a copy of
the real server database.
What I need to know is how should I execute a command, be it in the command
line (prefferable because of scripting) or using some kind of gui tool like
pgadminIII
to let the virtual database get in sync with the real database when the
external harddrive is connected to the real server.
I've looked up sqlworkbench (no ubuntu binary) and slony (has to be
compiled).
I'm considering asking Ricardo from the GISVM project if he is available to
help me think up a solution for this, you never know.


Thanks in advance,

Carlos

Re: [Qgis-user] Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] augmenting donations

2009-07-06 Thread Paolo Cavallini
Thank you Andreas.

Andreas Neumann ha scritto:

 I am just trying to help you guys to understand how government agencies
 or companies often work (exceptions are always possible). It is
 important to educate managers regarding the open-source development
 model. They are just not used to it and at the first glimpse they can
 find it strange - even if it is to their advantage.

Yes, we are fully aware of this. That's why we start raising awareness
on these themes - a (modest) cultural change will do much to the future
of QGIS.

 One may discuss if QGIS/GRASS (or other projects) could offer yearly
 support contracts. It may help to raise additional money in some cases.
 It is important to distinguish such contracts from their fully
 commercial counterparts. Customers shouldn't be forced into paying those
 fees/contracts - but they may fell better with paying them. Probably,
 such contracts, would have to be done by individual companies - or could
 the steering board coordinate such activities?

IMHO mixing core development with paid support is not very good. Several
companies offer commercial, professional support on QGIS development,
and they invest in core QGIS development, see
http://qgis.org/en/commercial-support.html so if someone wants to play
safe, they have an easy and efficient way.

 Many managers in government agencies don't want to be held responsible
 in case things go wrong - and in case of using open-source software they
 are fully responsible about their decisions, whereas with commercial
 software they can always blame their commercial vendor (even if the
 contracts are always in favor of the software vendor and includes very
 limited liability of the vendor). At least in Switzerland I know that
 many GIS managers are thinking this way. They often want to at least
 share their responsibility with an external company.

So what I would tell them is: go ahead and contract one of the core
developers, or one of the companies listed in
http://qgis.org/en/commercial-support.html and
http://grass.osgeo.org/community/commercial.php
Several companies and agencies already do it.
All the best.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: [Gfoss] rilasciato spatialite-gis ALPHA

2009-07-06 Thread Massimo Di Stefano

Hi All,

Apologize Corossposting,

some swit news from italy ;-)

Oggetto: [Gfoss] rilasciato spatialite-gis ALPHA

Sempre legato agli annunci precedenti:
ora è anche disponibile un GIS elementare, leggero
e veramente molto semplice basato su SpatiaLite e
RasterLite

saluti,
Sandro

Hi list,

today I released 'spatialite-gis', a really simple
and elementary GIS tool built directly on the top
of SpatiaLite.

http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite [or]
http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.3.1

--

'spatialite-gis' is very alike to 'spatialite-gui';
both are intended to cooperate in a smooth way.

- spatialite-gui allows you to access the DB in
a classic SQL-based fashion
- spatialite-gis supports a more 'visual' and
interactive approach

'spatialite-gis' fully supports RasterLite's
Raster Data Sources: you can get two useful
sample-DB at:

http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.3.1/world.7z
http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.3.1/truemarble-4km.7z

And a complete tutorial is available as well:

http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.3.1/spatialite-gis-basic.pdf
http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.3.1/spatialite-gis-advanced.pdf

IMPORTANT NOTICE: this is an ALPHA state release, so
it's quite unstable for sure; please, let me know
any bug, oddity and so on ...

Enjoy,
Sandro

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] database replication

Thank you,

I'm gonna check it out

On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 5:08 PM, Jo Cook j.c...@oxfordarch.co.uk wrote:


 Hi Carlos,

 I wrote that round-up, and there are a couple of things I would add. The
 first is that, of the packages I talk about in that blog post, I'd go with
 dbreplicator as it seems a little more active in terms of development and
 response to emails. However, these days I would actually choose sqlsync
 http://silvercoders.com/index.php?page=sqlsync

 This works very well as a cross-platform (cross-database too) command line
 tool, so once you're familiar with the syntax it can easily be incorporated
 into a script to run whenever you need it to.

 Hope that helps

 Jo
