> Who are you?
Bernhard Hoefle, PhD student at Institute of Geography
(www.uibk.ac.at/geographie) and at alpS - Centre for Natural Hazard Management
(www.alps-gmbh.com). I'm working in a research project dealing with Airborne
Laser Scanning (ALS) Data for Natural Hazard purposes.
> What are you using PostGIS for?
Storing ALS point clouds (up to 1 Billion points/database).
> Why did you choose PostGIS?
Because I worked with PostgreSQL before and was (I'm still) very happy with it.
It has a quite large collection of GIS functionality that I could use. The
community is active and competent in nearly every field of interest.
> What makes you happy about your PostGIS installation?
Stable! Easy-to-use with GRASS and QGIS.
> What makes you unhappy about your PostGIS installation?
Poor documentation about programming/extending C functions of PostGIS.
I'll add some wishes to the list ;-)
