PostGIS Spatialite PgRouting rasdaman




Databases• Transition from shape files to a real spatial database

• Looking to reduce license costs? Check case studies

• What is interesting for Databases

• “NoSQL” backlash - does spatial want to rebel?

• Rasters in the database - is it any good?

• Treating a database as a file format

• Consider: ACID, Spatial Index, Simple Features for SQL

16




PostGIS – Spatial Database


PostGIS - Spatial Database

18

• Spatial extension to PostreSQL enabling it to be used as a spatial database. PostGIS is fast, standards compliant and wildly used.

• Raster (new!)• ACID transactional

integrity• R-Tree spatial index• Multi-user support• Row-level locking• Replication, Partitioning• Role-based security• Table-spaces, schemas

Browser Clients• Where a lot of the Action is!

• There are less browser clients then a few years ago

• Several projects combined forces for Open Layers

• Great examples of “end-to-end” web mapping solutions

• Pros: “get your data online in 10 mins” examples

• Cons: use of components + standards

• Python vs Java? JavaScript vs GWT? You decide!
