[udig-users] ID of FID

[Silvia Franceschi <silvia.franceschi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I am trying to manage some data in a 
postgres-postgis database through
uDig and I have this strange behavior.
In postgres I have a geometry table with some 
attribute columns, in
particular I have the shape and the ID columns.

When I visualize the same table in uDig I can 
visualize the shapes and
in the table view I cannot see the ID column. I 
notice that the FID
field contains the information of the original ID 
column plus the name
of the layer/table.
Is this normal or is it due to some option setted 
in the postgres table?
Is it possible to visualize the ID column also in 
udig?

This is a problem because if I export the table in 
a new shapefile the
information of the FID will be reseted and I 
completely loose my
connection withe the ID field that is the field I 
use for connecting
non-geographical information with the features in 
the table.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

Silvia
