[Gvsig_english] GvSig connection to Access Database

[Mario Carrera]

Hello Sara,

the current Java version, Java 8, that is included in gvSIG, doesn't 
support ODBC connections. In that way it was possible to connect to 
Access databases, but it's not possible now. If there's an entity 
interested in financing that development it would be done.

In addition, there's a way to load the data from the table in gvSIG, 
that is exporting to DBF or CSV files previously. They can be added as a 
point layer in gvSIG, using the coordinates of the table.

There are two ways:

1. Event layer: Here you can see how to do it: 
https://blog.gvsig.org/2018/02/01/gis-applied-to-municipality-management-module-8-2-creation-of-point-layers-from-tables-event-layers/ 

You can export the event layer to shapefile later.

2. Adding the table as layer: For that you can access to "Add layer", 
then from the "File" tab you select the CSV or DBF file, and you access 
to the "Properties" button. At the "Geometry" tab you can select the 
fields with X and Y coordinates. Here you have a video about that (it's 
in Spanish but it will be useful to find the menus):

You can export the CSV or DBF layer to shapefile later.

The DBF file can be edited later from gvSIG directly, and you can edit 
its alphanumerical information.

If you export it to shapefile you can edit it too. Here you can see how 
to do it

Best regards,
