Hi all, a good question has been raised on Stackexchange [0] "How do I import WKT text data back into QGIS, and how useful could Base or Access be in storing the data using WKT rather than spatially enabling it within a proper GIS database, like Spatialite?"
The good point beyond that, is that adding a WKT field to a database is often more simple than converting it to spatial DB, since a complete workflow often exists (forms to create datas, macros.. ). For simple mapping, without special performance required (no metadata, no spatial index, no spatial function embeded), that would save me lots of days. More precisely, I often have to downgrade to basic shp exports just to map simple things, when reading directly the datasource could keep it all dynamic. Thoughts?
