Обсуждение: GIS and postgresql
Hi all. This is my first post after being on the mailing list for a while. I use GIS a lot and have been tinkering with Personal GEODB(ESRI ARCGIS 9.1). I am taking a class next semster on ESRI's Spatial Database Engine(SDE) on Windows SQL SERVER and am trying to lear a lot more on Enterprise GEODB. I have read that POSTGRESQL is prolly the best Open Source DB for Spatial DB. I looked at the books list on the site, and I can't seem to find any books or literature on topic of POST and GEODB. I am patiently looking through the archives and am finding nothing. If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated. TIA, Randy Long GIS/CAD Technician Mackay and Somps 1771 Tribute Rd. Ste. E Sacramento, CA 95815 916-929-6092

The core Postgres community doesn't really know anything about GIS. The folks you want to contact are the PostGIS people --- see http://www.postgis.org/ and join their mail lists. regards, tom lane

Check out PostGIS, an add-on module for PostgreSQL. I'd recommend subscribing to their mailing lists if you're going to use it. http://postgis.refractions.net/ -- Michael Fuhr
I can suggest you a GIS viewer that works with PostGIS:http://www.jump-project.org/project.php?PID=JUMP&SID=DOWN Regards Oleg Randy Long schrieb: >Hi all.
