[Qgis-user] neo4j

[M.E.Dodd]

Slightly off topic but how do graph databases such as Neo4j work with spatial data and can you connect to this kind of database with qgis or is the structure completely different or have I completely misunderstood things?  As someone who knows nothing about graph databases it would seem they might be very efficient for certain types of object but when you are dealing with polygons in multiple coordinate reference systems and mixtures of other types of data then postgres is still the thing to use?
