Hi,
I do not consider that using "GEOMETRY" is an horrible mistake but rather a
moderate inconvenience. Using "geom" with PostGIS may be a common habit but
there are other frequently used names like "the_geom" (shp2pgsql),
"wkb_geometry" (GDAL) and "way" (OSM workchain). The PostGIS documentati
the recent default name for a column of type geometry in PostGIS
development, is geom.
It is absolutely a horrible mistake to use any uppercase default name,
and especially so if the name is the same name as the type.
I am sure people would agree on this, just a simple change to get on
the rig
Hi,
The driver "PostGIS Table (new)" creates the geometry column and names it as
uppercase GEOMETRY. I would say that it would be better to use lowercase
"geometry". Now when writing direct database queries users must use exact
column name with double quotes
select "GEOMETRY" from table;
If it
