[postgis-users] The Old Who is using PostGIS survey again?

[Paragon Corporation]

Steve,

Hmm interesting.  No haven't taken a look at that.  I knew there was
something going on in that front, but didn't know how far it had progressed.
We'll make sure to take a closer look at that.

Thanks for the tip,
Leo

Regina,

Are you aware of the that has been done with SpatiaLite? It is a postGIS
like extension to SQLite database. It is almost equivalent functionality to
PostGIS and my guess is that mush or all of what you have written probably
also pertains to SpatiaLite which might widen the value of your book.

Best regards,
