[Talk-cz] Podpora SQLite pro Mapnik

[Tomas Kolda]

Ahoj,

dnes jsem zkonsolidoval me pokusy implementovat sqlite a mapnik. Posilal 
jsem to do konference OSM, ale pokud mate nekdo zajem, byl bych rad, 
kdybyste mi k tomu take neco napsali. Aspon se budu moct rozhodnout, zda 
s tim neco delat dal :)

Bohuzel zatim jsou binarky jen pro windows, ale az prijedu z dovolene, 
muzu s tim neco udelat. Naportovat na Linux by to nemel byt vetsi 
problem, ale moc jsem to zatim neresil...

Hi,

this is reaction for threads about sqlite and Mapnik. I promissed that I 
post something about my research. So here it is.

http://osm.w2n.cz/

There is SVN with sources and compiled versions of tools (windows only 
at this time). At first I must say, that this is not replacement for 
current support of Sqlite in Mapnik. I did this work half year ago, so 
thats why there is only Mapnik 0.5.1.

It is very simple and uncomplete, but it works fine. If there will be 
some feedback, I will continue to finish it. Next development will be 
completely different to postgress schema, because there will be high 
performance speedups if I change rendering way.

At final state it should be just two programs. Convert/update tool and 
Web server with integrated mapnik and db server. So user just get his 
part of OSM, run convert and run server with converted data. I thing 
that there will be benefits for beginers, that is good artists (making 
icons and styles), but not advanced users (installing DBs and so on...).
