gvSIG-Desktop 1.12. Manual de usuario
gvSIG 1.11 User manual - Viewing and accessing data - Load data - Geographical data - Vector - geoDB Extension (database manager) - Introduction
This extension allows users easy, standardised access to geographic databases from different providers. At present, gvSIG supports the following database management systems:
| Data bases | Read | Write |
|---|---|---|
| PostgreSQL/PostGIS | Yes | Yes |
| MySQL | Yes | No |
| HSQLDB | Yes | No |
| Oracle (SDO Geometry) | Yes | Yes |
gvSIG stores the different connections made during the various sessions. Thus, users do not need to input the parameters of every server they connect to. Likewise, if a project file is opened which has a database connection, the user will only be required to enter the password.
The extension has two user interfaces, one to manage the data sources and another to add the layers to the view.
