Hi everybody,<br>I'm a university student and I'm doing a thesis on the integration of grass with mysql. I found that grass has a good support for postgis and I'd like to duplicate all the main features available for this db for mysql, which has geometry extensions (opengis compliant) and performs significantly better than postgres. I downloaded grass
6.3 cvs source code yet and I started to have a look to the code, but I've some questions:<br>- from the grass 6 features page I understood that with postGis it's no more necessary to pass through gdal ogr translation: is this true? Is there a direct db manipulation?
<br>- what part of the code implements the direct
"Export/Import to <b>PostGIS"</b> (functions as v.to.db and so on) and which directories and files should I look at?<br>- what documentation could help me and where could I find it (I googled for technical docs oriented to grass/db integration, but I did't found much material);
<br>- is this a project that could become part of grass in any way? How could I receive support and/or feedback when necessary?<br><br>I hope to read of you soon. Thanks...<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Emanuele Conti<br>Senior Student at University ROMA TRE
