[postgis-users] Best graphical viewer for PostGIS data

[Kevin Neufeld]

I prefer OpenJump as well.  Through plugins I wrote myself, I can view 
or edit data directly in PostGIS pulled either from a single table or 
any SQL query that returns a single geometry column.  Since the database 
I often work with is ~150GB I need to be able to load data into Jump 
dynamically, that is, only load data whose bounding box intersects the 
current viewport.  (Though the plugin can also ignore the bounding box 
filter and statically load the entire content of any SQL query or table 
entirely in memory).

I don't know the state of any publicly available plugins that permit 
dynamic data editing, but OpenJump does come with a limited dynamic 
viewer plugin that permits the viewing of a single table (optionally 
with filters applied).

Cheers,
Kevin

I use it as sort of a tester/designer for automating recurring tasks that have a spatial analytical component.  All editing is done in other software, outside of postgres/postgis, and reloaded monthly.
