[Gvsig_english] New Student for GVSIG within Google Summer Of Code2010: quick introduction

[Benjamin Ducke]

Hi Juan, Luca

That question is not so rhetorical, actually!
There are several ways of storing spatial data in an SQLite3
database, that are all in use by some software: 

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html

One of them is a simple WKT/WKB storage model that is also nicely
documented (see link above).

So if SpatiaLite is too much pain, because of the need to wrap the
C API, then we can just use the plain WKT/WKB storage for our purposes.
It's supported by GDAL/OGR, so we lose only the special SpatiaLite functionality.

Cheers,

Ben

Ciao, Luca. 

I too think Spatialite is a very interesting way to store and share GIS data, especially because its simplicity fits mobile devices very well. 

I know a pure-Java version of SQLite (not Spatialite) which will probably work on a wide range of Java-enabled mobile devices (Android supports SQlite too). 

I was wondering: what is the simplest Sqlite database that can be read and processed from Spatialite? Let's suppose I have a Sqlite database file with only one table and one of the columns of that table is of binary type (BLOB or similar), and that column contains some WKB describing a geometry. Would this be enough to open it from a Spatialite-enabled application (for example gvSIG in the future)? This is rather a rhetorical question... I need to look into it myself :) 

Can we see your progresses online? blog? SVN? 

Regards,

Hello gvsig-international mailing list, 

sorry for sending this email as a kind of spamming, I'd like just to introduce myself quickly to the whole list. 

My name is Luca Bianconi and I'm the "student" working with the gvSig team for the Google Summer of Code 2010. 
Our task is implementing the gvSig support for SQlite and SpatiaLite and I'll do my best for doing it. 

I'd like to say my "Hello" to everybody and I thank you all for the help you will be able to provide when we will be up to the implementation phase both in comments and suggestions! 

Nice to meet you all, 
Cheers, 
Luca
