Bug report #13504

columns added to Spatialite layers with DB Manager are not visible in QGIS

Description

Any new column added by DB Manager's "edit table" function is then not visible in QGIS layers properties (but is visible in DB Manager).

try adding other columns using QGIS vector properties will result in errors like

ERROR: field with index 2 is not the same!

This used to work as expected in past QGIS releases.

#1 Updated by Giuseppe Sucameli over 8 years ago

Does it happen with SL layers only?
Could you try with a PostGIS layer and report here the result, please?

as far as I can see, only SL.

and I just noticed this #13508

that applies to both SL and PostGIS tables.

#3 Updated by Salvatore Larosa over 8 years ago

confirmed here and I can confirm it is occurring also in QGIS LTR.

you have to go back a while to see it working, but this is anyway a regression ;)

Status changed from Open to Feedback

Maybe it is related to issue #8923. Can you run the proposed workaround there to check if it is the same issue #8923-5

no, it doesn't solve.

Please note that there is another regression in DB Manager and SL layers: drag and drop from DB manager to QGIS main Window will return an error (is ok for PostGIS layers), but worked ok in past QGIS releases. As the double click on table names in DB Manager do not add them to the project (an inconsistency compared to how the QGIS browser behave), the only option to add SL layers is to right click them an choose "add to canvas", and for who works routinely with SL is less than optimal.

Gio,
Better to probably add that as a new ticket.

#8 Updated by Giuseppe Sucameli over 8 years ago

What if you add a new column from a different database tool (e.g. spatialite-gui) instead of DBManager?

I suppose this is not a DBManager issue, it's something related to cached attributes not properly updated.

Hi Gio, I'm unable to reproduce it here... Could you please file a new ticket and give more info? Thanks.

Now double-clicking on a table adds it as layer to canvas (9f67f4cde0) ;)

I suppose this is not a DBManager issue, it's something related to cached attributes not properly updated.

If I add the column with "ALTER TABLE..." (in SL GUI or else) then the column is visible in DB Manager but not in QGIS.

is ok on latest master!

HUGE usability improvement, thanks!
