Samuel,
QGIS is more of a GIS viewing and analysis tool than a geospatial
datastore (although I guess QGIS project files could be considered as at
least storing references to geospatial data). I would recommend
reconsidering using PostGIS as a geospatial datastore.
If that is not possible, you might be able to store geospatial data
as blobs in your Ajera database (if it has that capability), and
retrieve them using an ODBC connection, But you would still have to
write a QGIS plugin to decode the blobs. Or you could just use
PostGIS. SQLite+Spatialite is another database option, and while this
file-base database is easier to set up than a full blown client/server
database, it has limitations with respect to size and multi use.
If you want to discuss it further, feel free to email me directly.

Hello,
My company is trying to obtain a GIS software to use as a database for
our spatial technical data. I thought of QGIS, but without having to
install additional database programs such as PostGIS.
I don’t want to obtain another database program because we already use
one called Ajera, which is a regular (non-spatial) database program.
The technical data I want to store on QGIS would be information that
can be used on the software called CadnaA. Examples are: points,
lines, area, 3D objects, images, photos, contour maps etc. The
limitation with CadnaA is that it can only contain about 1000 objects
are once, which is enough for a single project model, but not enough
for us to store data from many projects. My thought is that QGIS could
serve as the “middle database” to store all the spatial information,
which could then be transferred into CadnaA as needed for analysis
purposes.
Is QGIS alone, without the use of further database programs such as
PostGIS, adequate for this?
I hope my question is clear enough.
Thank you,
