Re: [postgis-users] Viewer plugins of PostGIS --HELP

2011-06-15 Thread David Fawcett
I have used RT SQL for the exact case that you have outlined.  I have
a vector 'grid' that I connect to a very large data set.  It allows me
to store the geometry in one place and then connect the features with
the values for one analytical parameter for a particular date for
visualization.

I have also done a similar thing with MapServer.  I have a simple Web
app that passes parameters for the date and the analyte to MapServer,
which writes the query, hits PostGIS, and then renders the image.

David.

The plugin enables users without permissions (other than SELECT) to
build their queries and to save them client-side.
You should not have any major limitation.
Please let us know how it goes.
All the best.

Dear Paolo,

Can you give me more information about the 'RT SQL layer plugin' you
mention please? I use GQIS to visualise my data from PostGIS
sometimes, but do find the query tool a bit limited and wonder whether
this might be the solution...?

Thanks

James

Confirmed. You can also run complex queries via the RT SQL layer plugin,
and others.
All the best.

Ben,

I know that the qGIS - OpenJump - uDig are very good solutions for
visualizing the spatial data of postgis, but.. i want to try and explore
these plug-ins.
Anyway, thanks for your reply!

Apostolis,

This may not help, but I guess I find QGIS quite simple for actually 
visualising data. Maybe not so good for complex queries. There are now a number 
of PostGIS plug-ins though.

Download. Install. Run. Add PostGIS Layer...

cheers

Ben

[postgis-users] Viewer plugins of PostGIS --HELP

2011-06-15 Thread ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ ΛΕΛΕΝΤΖΗΣ
Hi list

For another time, i ask your help and your valuable experience!!
My problem is related with ad-hoc solutions for viewing spatial data of a
postgis database.
I was searching a lot in the internet, and i found the following links which
indicate the installation and the usability of a postgis-viewer plugin.

[1]
http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/180-pgAdmin113plugins_postgis.html
[2]
http://geotux.tuxfamily.org/index.php?option=com_myblog&task=view&id=277&Itemid=59&lang=en

Regarding with the first plugin[1], i have execute all the necessary guides
for the installation, but it doesn't work.
Specifically, i select a geometric table or i type a spatial SQL query, but
when i switch the postgis viewer then the new window don't visualize the
relevant table or the spatial outputs.
So, could anyone help me?? Maybe, someone else has used this tool??

Concerning with the second plugin [2], i have installed it, very easy and
quickly, but it doesn't work because it requires the installation of OSGeo4W
environment.
The postgis_viewer.bat file contains some variables which correspond to
OSGeo4W paths. Because, i have installed seperate all these programs which
are contained at OSGeo4W,  i must change these paths for the good operation
of plugin. So, could anyone to show me how to configure the
postgis_viewer.bat file???

Any suggestion is accepted!
Thanks in advance
