I need spatial indexing/querying for paging large 3d worlds in and out from disk. This means I have lots of generic python objects - each with a bounding as the "key" - in the spatial tree. Queries are: "Which objects are in the given query box?". I think geohash provides mainly supports for point data so it does not suit bounding queries. > If you need a full geospatial solution, postgis is featureful and easy > to use, and simple to integrate transactionally with ZODB. It seems postgis is a PostgresQL extension. This means I have to maintain a postgresql server just for the geo data. Method 3b) in my original posting seems to be less work and I have direct integration with the ZODB. -Matthias _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
