[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Geo Database

[Bob Basques]

All,

Don't know the specifics about the engine being used, but we discussed 
using the Plone storage mechanism, a few times, for spatial data.  Just 
didn't seem like a quick enough payoff to try anything out.  At least 
not on the surface.

There was a thought that there might be something to start with though.
