Hi all,
I'm certainly biased here, but I believe QGIS is now possibly the best system for data entry and reporting for a variety of sources, most notably PostgreSQL, even for purely alphanumeric data. I'm seeing more and more applications where prin layouts are produced without a map, etc. How feasible would it be to modularize the application, in order to be able to use it also without the map canvas and all other geographical goodies?

Haha, I never heard anyone using QGIS for any work that doesn't have a
map involved. Do you have examples? But last month I suggested using QGIS for generating the invoices for the Dutch User Group (as an atlas). Because I didn't know another way for doing such a job. Besides I thought it would be funny. :) Raymond On 20-02-2020 10:22, Paolo Cavallini wrote: > Hi all, > I'm certainly biased here, but I believe QGIS is now possibly the best > system for data entry and reporting for a variety of sources, most > notably PostgreSQL, even for purely alphanumeric data.

In my previous jobs, I got the use case where I wanted to use QGIS without maps ... It was a Postgresql database and I needed a application to do some CRUD on the database, in an easy way. QGIS does plenty of things like: - forms - attribute table - conditional formatting in the attribute table - loading views from PostgreSQL etc - dataplotly - layout/reports which are indeed very nice. It looks a little bit weird to open QGIS to open a non-spatial project :) I didn't find any good software to replace QGIS. (maybe I was biased too) I tried to build one quickly a few months ago for editing a single postgresql table (with conditional formatting and forms), but I didn't go far: Le jeu. 20 févr. 2020 à 12:05, Paolo Cavallini <[hidden email]> a écrit : Il 2020-02-20 11:46 Raymond Nijssen ha scritto: _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [hidden email] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer |
