[postgis-users] PostGIS South Africa

[TECHER Jean David]

Ok Paul

I just registered myself to your site... :-)

I had begun a small tutorial at
http://postgresqlwin32.free.fr/Tutorial_PostGIS/
but I stopped it because I had a lof ot work this month at my job..

I think the kind of doc that should be interested is a tutorial about:

-1) Importing data from ESRI shafefile or MapInfo (...) and creating spatial
index...


- 2) showing examples about usual functions of PostGIS (Area(), within(),
intersects()....) and so on...

- ...

On of demand perhaps should be about using PostgreSQL/postGIS on an intranet
network (that's a great demand of our clients..)
but that's just an indea...
