I installed the QGIS + GRASS + PLUGIN as you suggested using the
OSGeo4W installer.
I can only use Grass Tools IF the layers are grass layers imported into
a new map set. I do this but v.distance does not allow me to select the
"From" vector file so the routine baulks.

Peter,
Trying the QGIS+Grass option now. Lets see how that goes - experiences
to date put into the same 'steep learning curve' category but I try it
again using Giovanni's instructions. I will post my experiences about
trying to get this to work.

Thanks for sticking with it, and also reporting on your pain, Simon.
Knowing where your pain is will help us lower it for those in your

Peter,
Sort of answered my own question. Found the EXE in the binary directory
of PostgreSQL.
Tried to get the program to work but I could not get the file to import
the shapefile into a database. I will need to spend more time working
on coming to grips with PostgreGIS, PostGIS and others co

Tried loading Postressql then PostGIS - this worked but no "simple

Simon, for what you describe you just need PostGIS, nothing else. It comes
with a utility called pgAdmin that lets you type SQL statements and display
the results in a spreadsheet-like format (among other things).
If you do the standard PostGIS windows install from

Peter & others,
With PostGIS what is the best option for installation to trial this
option. Where would you enter the SQL query?

functionality to send SQL statements to the database? Does PostGIS

Simon, you could do this as a PostGIS query. To take the polygon case, if
you loaded the data into a table in PostGIS called parcel (say), you could
run a query something like the following (not guaranteeing this is exactly

Simon,
You might want to look at PostGIS. It is a GIS extension to the
posgresql database. There are windows installers for it. There is a
shapefile loaded and dumper, so you can easily load a shapefiles into
tables then do SQL queries with geospatial function. The postgis support
