Custom Query (1118 matches)

I've added the follow review comments into the PostGIS quickstart:

For this quickstart, which targets new users who might not be familiar with databases or SQL, I suggest we drop section describing command line control of Postgres. If we do keep command line information, I suggest it is moved to the end of the quickstart, possibly added into "Things you could try". Instead, I think the Quickstart should cover:

• Keep Client/Server overview
• Create a database in pgAdmin
• Load a dataset, probably from a shapefile
• Do some SQL queries on the dataset
• Use QGis to view data from PostGIS (using the existing Natural Earth data). We should be able to keep most of the existing QGis sections

Review comments here: ​http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/changeset?new=9773%40livedvd%2Fgisvm%2Ftrunk%2Fdoc%2Fen%2Fquickstart%2F52nWSS_quickstart.rst&old=9731%40livedvd%2Fgisvm%2Ftrunk%2Fdoc%2Fen%2Fquickstart%2F52nWSS_quickstart.rst

The quickstart is actually in good shape, and these comments are relatively minor improvement suggestions.

Tested in OSGeo-Live 6.5beta1: Spatialite-gis is not selectable from the database directory on the desktop, or from the geospatial->database-> osgeolive menu.

I believe it should be, as it is currently mentioned in the spatialite quickstart. (A workaround is to comment out of the quickstart).

(Note, we can select spatialite-gis which is probably a more important app)
