postGIS vs. TAB files

[Flavio Hendry]

Hi David

We use TAB a lot and do not really see too much difference to Shape. To 
me it performs similar to PostGIS. But as Paul says: "but in general 
PostGIS is more effective if you want to consolidate management of data 
into one place, query/modify the data from multiple applications/ 
clients, and get better optimization of composite spatial/attribute 
queries". TAB is good for "display and query" kind of applications ...

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
