[postgis-users] PostGIS temporal support

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Sinan,

I think that you will have to model the temporal support yourself using 
and datetime or equivalent column on your tables then construct your 
queries as either temporal with a spatial filter or spatial with a 
temporal filter.

As George said, it will depend greatly on your database model, but you 
should find all the tools you need to do this in postgresql for the 
temporal support and postgis for the spatial support.
