Did you make any progress with this after the server came back up? I guess you are using Windows (not that I would recommend doing so :) ). The gdal-sde plugins I posted on the old forum don't work with the latest gdal. But I extracted some new ones from http://dl.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_3.0.6.zip and they seem to work fine (I finally found a publicly accessible server that I could successfully test with!). > So my question is simple - what would be the optimal way for QGIS to read > this data (we're not interested in writing)? Can your server not provide WFS? If you could enable it easily on the server I would have thought that would be the easiest and most flexible option. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
