yeah, it's pretty slick. i've been a long-long time user of commercial
GIS database products (mainly arcSDE) and to be able to use cf to run
spatial queries is pretty freaking fantastic:
<!--- find the province this point lies within --->
<cfquery name="findProvince" datasource="postGIS">
SELECT provinceName
FROM provinces
WHERE CONTAINS(the_geom, GeometryFromText('POINT(100.65 13.85)')
</cfquery>
and to top it off it can output results as SVG.
