 ==Place database used by GRAMPSGramps==
If you want to use your own database, you don't care of licence to use, but what about to re-use existing databases ?
See [[GRAMPS:Copyrights|Copyrights]].
==To create our place database==
Why not creating our own place database ?
Users sharing their place informationsinformation. It is possible on GRAMPS Gramps 3.0.1 and later :
#Go on place View

==To use existing place structure and data into GRAMPSGramps==
===To re-use your data stored in an other flat database===
# to create a new column (1 on the first line, 2 on the second, 3 on the third) then to use automatic filing from the first line to the last one with data.
# to save on XHTML
# to work with "remplacereplace" function on your text editor (or grep, sed, awk)# with  With XML flat database, I to generate a new [[XML|XML ]] by using [[xsl|XSLT ]].  
ex: if you don't use autofiling for number, (''<xsl:number value="postion()" format="1."/>'') generates ordered id for your place object.
