[geo-discuss] howto access the petition db?

Tue Sep 26 12:31:56 UTC 2006

dear jo,

I am sure that you are super busy. Still I disturb :-)
For the InterGeo Open Source Park, the German GAV (GRASS user group)
wants to present a poster with some reference to INSPIRE etc.

I thought that the proposed "heat map" of the petition DB
would be stay nicely on such a poster.

Do you think you could extract the relevant data from the SQL DB
and add the number of signees for each country to the VMAP0 SHAPE file
which I sent around recently? Unfortunately we would need the map
soon...

Best regards
Markus
