Thanks Rob/Paul,
Rob, you confirmed what I thought.this shouldn't be rocket science.
Paul...yes I'd certainly prefer to let the right tool do the job.
This is an initial check to see what is available. I'm in no way

You might also take a look at the GIS capabilities that are now baked
into sever DB systems. MS SQL 2008 and the newer versions of PostGres
come to mind as having native support for geographic data. A lot of it
will come down to figuring out your actual requirements, which seem to
be rather fuzzy

no, but it can hurt like the dickens.
1) No data structure defined as of yet
2) May not have access to the GIS system
just use postGIS/postgreSQL. has tools to load
Thanks Judah,

lots of good info there!
Just to be clear, there would not be any visualization or anything
fancyjust checking to see if the point is in the box/shape or not -
