Hi Junior, It's not as simple as copying data between two tables. If it were purely a relational db I wouldn't need QGIS, there's a GIS component. Based on a paper map I have to select a bunch of polygons (think states, regions, countries, whatever) and use the selection to add new rows to a db table. Make sense?
Thanks for the reply.
