hello,
I am relatively new in this field. I am designing a database to store
the
events extracted from the oceans. This project later demands of
publishing
data on web. I am not able to decide which database to use. Mysql with
spatial extension or the postgis one. I would prefer to use windows
platform.
Can someone suggest or can provide me with some links that compare the
two
databases. Do you think Mysql has a better spatial elements handling
capacity in comparison to postgis.?
MySQL's current OpenGis implementation is of a part of the "simple"
OpenGis spec. PostGis doesn't do speherical geometry either, AFAIK.
There is a MySQL-PostGres comparison at

please reply soon.
Thanks and Regards
