Description

I can't load PostGIS columns of type "geometry" because QGIS mandates to specify a SRID, and if I fake one it complains about "could not be determined or was not requested". A column of type "geometry" has a SRID of 0. This is being a problem with 83445af

Sandro is this a regression since 1.8 or previous master revisions?

#2 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 11 years ago

I'm not building very often (scared by instability), but it's likely not older than one month, as a regression.

PS: I can only see Feedback and Closed as ticket statuses

Let me see if I can do something in redmine administration.

Still happening. Seems to only happen with tables with geometries having a SRID=0 (ie: unkown srid).
Is this a documented new requirement ?

#5 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 11 years ago

And yes, it is a regression. I used to be able to use geometries with NO srid just fine. I didn't even have to manually enter one (but this is a separate topic, maybe)

"almost". The error message isn't shown anymore now, BUT I just cannot select the table with SRID=0.
Here's a screenshot: http://strk.keybit.net/tmp/cannot_select_geom.png
Clicking on the line the cursor is on (identified has containing Point with SRID 0) does not highlight it, so you can't click on "Add"

Hey Jef, I tested with postgis 1.5 and it still fails there. SRID=-1 is the unknown in there. If -1 has special meaning in qgis (does it?) it'd be better to convert it to 0 when it comes from the database

#12 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 11 years ago

THe recommended way is to convert any SRID < 0 coming from the database to 0. This si what PostGIS 2.0 does when data gets in the db (either from old dumps or old applications)

Works for me with both 1.5 and 2.0 -- thanks again !
