[postgis-users] How do you do neighborhood functions?

[collin]

I probably should qualify my question. The datasets I will use this on 
will ulitmately be larger than 2GB in size, thus, I can't use Arc/Info, 
ArcGIS, MapInfo, or Fragstats for that matter, due to 32bit limits.  
This is why I am trying to implement processing inside a database.
