I have already a system up and running *without ways* that works perfectly well. In order to make it work seamlessly with OSM I had to introduce ways and it slowed the whole thing down - no matter what I try. > Anyway... redesigning the raw data model is more than likely a > complete waste of everyone's time. Ok, I hoped that my thoughts are taken serious, but I didn't expect that anyone would change the database model. -- -m*sh- ___________________________________________________ | harry w. graner |mail: hy [_at_] sha-mash [_dot_] de |--------------------------------------------------- [public gpg-key on request] take a look at my blogs: http://yMap4OSM.blog.de _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
