1) How you use PostGIS? We use it in our university courses (bachelor degree) about databases and we are giving courses about it (next one in January, see http://gis.hsr.ch/wiki/Agenda).
2) What you find useful about it over anything else? * It's more compatible to SQL than others in the same leagues (say ORACLE and MySQL). * It's made for production and professional environments * Users (and students) can install it without license troubles 3) Why you think there should be any book written focused on its use and of course if such a thing were to exist, would you buy it? A book like this shows the relevance of a product in the market and an academic institution we buy "any" relevant book we can get hold of :-> Yours, Stefan http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/PostGIS 2008/12/31 Gregory Williamson <[email protected]>: > Jay Cummins wrote: > > <...> > >> > 2) What you find useful about it over anything else? >> It's cheaper than therapy and it doesn't impair my ability to drive >> afterwards. > > SBOBNL* ! > > This ought to be an (un)official slogan, or perhaps a pull quote ... made > this person's day. > > I want to send an answer to the original questions, but we're more ... > formal ... now, so I have to get some form of formal sign-off for anything > public ... should only be a a day or two, but then, these are the holidays > and lots of folks are off. > > Thanks [wiping beer off the screen], > > Greg Williamson > Senior DBA > DigitalGlobe > > Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is > for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential > and privileged information and must be protected in accordance with those > provisions.
