If we ever get a full DB replication going (not just PostGIS) we could theoretically populate new columns with the planet data and then keep them up to date by changing the style (used when applying diffs). Should work, but AFAIK OSM itself just does a full re-import, but then again they add new fields rarely. _______________________________________________ Maps-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/maps-l
