We did some automated exports from postgis raster and vector to an anuga
flood model and put the results back into postgis for presentations.
Involved quite some python glue in between but in the end the postgis
database is usefull for administration of your data. Especially if you want
to deliver on the web and give people the option of changing input data
online.
