[postgis-users] PostGIS as WPS?

[Jorge de Jesus]

Hi Stefan

Despite pyWPS being "GRASS oriented" there is no problem  on running
(any) python code as a process, I am not certain what are your needs but
you could program a process in just a few lines that would accept a SQL
query as a WPS String Input and then have the output as WPS String of
Complex (XML) ouput.

It's up to you to write the process and define what input/output.

If you have specific pyWPS questions it is better to use the its mailing
list (http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/pywps-devel)
