[Live-demo] postgis test steps out dated

[Brian Hamlin]

Hi Cameron-
   the current setup makes a kind of "double work"
with the Quickstart plus the wiki Test Page..

I wrote all the Medford steps for the last dvd
but I tried to politely side-step the whole thing this time
because the Quickstart serves a lot of the same function
(and I have a deadline at work that is hard right now...)

here is a simple PostGIS query that works with natural earth

SELECT
   p.natscale,
   p.name,
   p.namealt,
   c.country
FROM
   public."10m_populated_places_simple" p,
   public."10m-admin-0-countries" c
WHERE
   ST_Contains( c.the_geom, p.the_geom)
   and c.country = 'Spain'
ORDER BY
   p.natscale DESC;
