[Qgis-developer] postgres provider refactoring

2012-01-09 Thread Jürgen E . Fischer
Hi there, I just commited a larger change to the postgres provider. Mostly it's refactoring, but it also contains some features. You should now be able to use primary keys that are not numeric and even primary keys with more that one column should work (not sure how well the latter performs).

Hi, I would also welcome it if we could have other OGC Server standards implemented in QGIS Server. However, personally, I would first be interested in WFS(-T) rather than WCS-T. But this is just my own personal preference. Andreas On Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:03:37 +0100, Paolo Cavallini

[Qgis-developer] WFS feature IDs: when required, when not?

2012-01-09 Thread Bill Clay
All, Thanks to Andrea Peri, I have just discovered that WFS 1.0.0 apparently does NOT require a WFS server to report a unique feature ID with every feature it transmits (a typical newbie misconception?). The OGC specs are so nested and versioned, it's hard to be certain I've understood them

Hi Bill, I guess perhaps you could calculate the PointOnSurface (don't the centroids) for every single feature received. The PointOnSurface (available on spatialite for example) Will Allow you to understand if a new Features received is the same or is another. Another technics should be

Hi Alessandro! We've also shortly talked about automatically build language-specific snapshots of the QGIS GUI with a custom sphinx directive. Yes, latest Sphinx version has a first class support for internationalization [1], so it should not be too hard to build an optimal solution for QGIS

Hi John Does the WCS-T service need functionality from the QGIS API (raster layer, raster provider, ...)? If not, it could also be an option to build the WCS service directly on top of the GDAL library. QGIS (wms) server could certainly serve as an inspiration on how to implement other
