Description

In former times MYSQL Connection from a table as saved in the QGS File as:

<datasource>MySQL:OrkanDB,host=Server,port=3306,user=webuser,password=xxxx,tables=gewstation|layername=gewstation</datasource>

Now it is saved as:

<datasource>MySQL:OrkanDB,host=Server,port=3306,user=webuser,password=xxxx|layerid=93</datasource>

If I add or insert a table in the database from Mysql, the layerid will be changed an QGIS connect with an other table.
To save the connection to a table over the layerid is not a good idea. In former Times it was better!

#4 Updated by Alessandro Pasotti almost 7 years ago

It would be useful if you could confirm this bug on master. IIRC there were some recent changes in the way sublayers are referred to in OGR provider.

#5 Updated by Even Rouault over 6 years ago

  • Resolution set to fixed/implemented

I'm pretty sure this is a known issue that has been fixed in the QGIS 3 line. Previously for multi-layer datasources, the project stored them with a layer index, which was unstable if the datasource had layers removed or added. QGIS3 now stores the layer name instead.
Closing as fixed in QGIS 3
