[postgis-users] Best graphical viewer for PostGIS data

[Michaël Michaud]

I cannot say I tried many viewers with postgis, but I'm quite satisfied 
with OpenJUMP, and I can say this one is not only a viewer ;-).
I use it to access a huge database (more than 50 millions objects ). Of 
course, OpenJUMP can't load the whole database into memory, but I wrote 
some plugins to easily extract the data I need (using the fence to do 
geometric extraction and prepared xml profiles as semantic filters)
