[postgis-users] Request for ideas to enhance the geometry viewer - GSoC

[Paul Ramsey]

Yeah, every time I’ve thought about renderer-in-the-db I’ve come back to this. There’s nothing especially privileged about the db that makes a lot of sense for bringing rendering in-process. And boy it’s a rat hole… once you go down, you’re never coming back out.
