[postgis-users] GML vs SVG

[Sean Montague]

I have made many a map with SVG, but I'm new to PostGIS.  So new in fact that I haven't even installed it yet.  I've been using MySQL, but have come to the conclusion that postgreSQL is the way to go.  So, for those of you familiar with both SVG and GML, can you explain the relationship between the two, it seems they are not mutually exclusive, and why wouldn't I write directly to SVG if a map ends up in SVG anyway?  I'm trying to sort through all this to determine the direction I should go in.  Thanks.
