Hi, Carlos,

Actually, PostGIS itsself works fine without the AddGeometryColumn stuff.

The whole reason for the AddGeometryColumn stuff is to keep the
geometry_columns table current, and that table is used by OpenGIS
compliant clients to find geometry columns. But as long as you only use
other clients (like MezoGIS, or psql, or self-written programs), or you
keep your geometry_columns table up to date by other means, it works
well without AddGeometryColumn() & co.

HTH,
Markus
