It's impressive how many different vector file formats QGIS (using ver 3.6.0) allows me to save a layer as:
But as far as I can tell, QGIS doesn't allow me to save a vector layer to memory. In my normal workflow in manipulating vector layers, I find myself having to save several intermediate vector layers to file, clogging up my file system or databsase with something like "vector_layer", "vector_layer1", "vector_layer2", "vector_layer2a", etc. It is often trivial to perform the updates/edits to the layer, and because I really don't care about these intermediate files, I'd rather be able to just save them in memory within the QGIS environment. Saving to memory would allow me to simply remove the layers from the project when I finish my workflow instead of having to delete from my Postgres database or my desktop.
When performing a geoprocessing task, there is the option to save to memory, but why can't I have the option to export a layer to memory on its own?
