[postgis-users] Data Models

[Burgholzer,Robert]

Simon,
This looks like a great tool.  If you can provide a link to it, or, if you wish to get a sourceforge account and send me your username, I can add you as a developer on the data models project, and you can upload it yourself.

Subject: Re: [postgis-users] Data Models

I have a basic tool built using xmlstartlet that can convert any of the ESRI GeoDatabase data models (as XML Schema of the GeoDatabase) to Oracle SQL. Modifying to convert to PostGIS is pretty trivial. The converter already converts the SewerStorm data model. It creates the domain tables, main tables, sets up foreign keys, creates a view for each SubType, Triggers for SubType default values. It also creates tables that hold the spatial relationship information for Topology and Network constraints (but this is an area I have not finished).
I am willing to share it with anyone who is interested.
regards
Simon Greener
