[postgis-users] Utility of Spatial Databases

[Paul Ramsey]

Over the last month or so, Dave and I have had increasing opportunities 
to use PostGIS interactively, while doing a big data processing project. 
We used PostGIS to control batch runs, to work as a data store, and as a 
data processing tool in its own right. I have attached, for example, a 
SQL file I did today which filters out some ugly data on an attributive 
basis, then performs a coordinate transform on it, turning data in 4 UTM 
zones into data in a single planar projection. Once the GEOS library is 
integrated, things will only get better!
