[postgis-users] PostgreSQL, PostGIS and spatial data

[Alex Martins Daher]

Hi all!

I don't know if I am getting this right. I need your confirmation:
PostgreSQL has already the geometric data types and some functions to
handle with this spatial data, but PostGIS adds lots of others functions,
metatables, etc, in order to make PostgreSQL compatible with SFS/OGC
and more powerful.

So PostgreSQL has some basic spatial capability and PostGIS makes PostgreSQL
a database to support a real GIS.

Is that right?

Alex
