Hi,

I use QGis0.8.0 and i noticed that, when i add a Postgis layer and
connect to our
postgreSQL/postgis database (8.1), qgis shows the error:
  "Column geometrie in "public"."pand" has a geometry type of
GEOMETRY, which Qgis does  not currently support."

I think this is because we used the generic type "GEOMETRY" in our
AddGeometryColumn
like this:
   AddGeometryColumn('pand','geometrie',28992,'GEOMETRY',3);

When i change it to
   AddGeometryColumn('pand','geometrie',28992,'POLYGON',3);
it all works fine. The problem is that this is not a solutions for us.

QGIS doesn't support geometry collections. It has to know in advance  
what type of features a layer contains and they must all be of the  
same type. It may be possible to support collections in the future,  
but there is no work being done on this at the present time.


Is there another solution to this? Are there any plans on  
supporting this

GEOMETRY support in future versions of QGIS ?
