Select all columns except geometry using virtual layers












2















Is it possible to select all columns except geometry using virtual layers in QGIS?



For example I have this (simplified) query:



Select *, st_buffer(geometry, 100) From mypolygons


It does not work. It does not buffer at all. But using the (simplified) query as follows does buffer all polygons as intended:



Select id, name, st_buffer(geometry, 100) From mypolygons


Now the issue is, that if I have polygons with a lot of columns I need them to type in all manually. Is there a way to avoid this?

          It does work as intended, and it is only a display issue.



          To make is work, just give a name to the buffered geometry and specify this name as being the spatial column.



          Otherwise, the virtual layer has two geometry columns, the original geometry and the new st_buffer(geometry) and the 1st one is picked-up for display.



          Select *, st_buffer(geometry, 100) as geo2 From mypolygons
