[Thuban-list] how to import text file with point data

[Moritz Lennert]

Hi,

A colleague of mine has a text file with x,y coordinates of point data. He
would like to use this in Thuban. What would be the best way to do this ?
Should he create a shape file ? Should we install PostGIS and import the
points into a table ? Is there a direct text file import ?
