Alex; I was under the impression that the qgisRelationReferenceWidget and the qgisRelationEditorWidget could handle m:n relationships. From what you are saying I am not looking at building them in a Form using qt I am looking at building a complete python plugin to handle those m:n relationships;

You have to implement m:n relationships yourself inside of your plugin if you need that. I recommend trying to use an ORM like sql-alchemy to make life easier. FYI there's also some cool Offline plugins that let you take Postgis tables offline in a temporary spatialite db, and then sync when back

GeoPackage might have some utility - especially in being able to package up data and share it (http://www.geopackage.org/). I haven't used it at all, but have thought about it as I'm trying to make data more usable across users and platforms... (It stores data in a SQLite db, and has support via

Luigi; Thanks, I will give it a try. Also tried using using MS Access to connect to the SQLite database following steps I found online using an ODBC connection. Got no useable sqlite3.dll found. It doesn't tell me where it is looking or anything; the ODBC driver install did put an sqlite3.dll in

Hello; I need some database options; I tried PostgreSQL, HSQL, SQLite/Spatialitem, Access (mdb/accdb) and what I get is either it works well with QGIS and doesn't work well at all with LibreBase or vice versa, with the exception of PostgeSQL which works well with both but I don't have a server to
