PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the
|
|
PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect,
|
|
PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server,
|
|
allowing it to be used as a backend for GIS.
|
|
|
|
PostGIS/PostgreSQL includes the following functionality:
|
|
* Simple Features as defined by the OpenGIS Consortium (OGC)
|
|
* Support for Well-Known Text and Well-Known Binary
|
|
representations of GIS objects
|
|
* Fast spatial indexing using GiST
|
|
* Geospatial analysis functions
|
|
* PostgreSQL JDBC extension objects corresponding to the
|
|
geometries
|
|
* Support for OGC access functions as defined by the Simple
|
|
Features Specification

and few more.....
