Overview
==================

Quail divides Stores into two types:

* QGIS Store
* PostGIS Store

These Stores can be used to support virtually all GIS data formats.

QGIS Store
================

A File Store can be created from any of the following:

 - A QGIS Project File and any associated Raster, Vector, and static files.
 - Spatial Data File Only.  Supported types are TIFF, GeoTIFF, Shapefile, or GeoJSON
 - A QGIS Store

Examples of static data sources include:

* GeoTiff
* GeoDatabase
* Shapefile
* GeoPackage
* GeoJson
* etc....

.. note:: 
      If your QGIS Project uses PostGIS as a data source, create a PostGIS Store.


PostGIS Store
=====================

A PostGIS Store is used when

1. Your QGIS Project uses data from a PostGIS Layer
2. You wish to convert your static data to PostGIS

If you wish to convert a static data source to PostGIS, you can upload the following

* GeoPackage
* Esri Shapefile
* PostGIS dump

Other formats can be loaded using ogr2ogr
