[Emmanuel BELO]

Hi,

you can find this reference (in French) online:

CNES: French Space Agency

http://cct.cnes.fr/cct05/public/2007/documents/Etude_comp_bases_donnees_spatialisees/rapport_etude_spatiale_final.pdf

Best regards,

However as i am completing my write up I cant seem to find any solid literature or independant reliable benchmarking tests that would show why a user would choos PostGIS for spatial queries over say MySQL. I have read in some places that MySQL is not as OGC compliant as PostGIS however I need an official source to prove this.
