Tips and Tricks for Writing PostGIS Spatial Queries
PostGIS is an Open Source spatial extender for the PostgreSQL database. It is used as the backend for many small and large scale GIS applications. Its main strengths are its breath of functionality, ease of use, speed, and of course price which allows it to be deployed in cloud computing architectures without worrying about licensing costs.
PostGIS is very easy to get started with, but to get the most out of there are things you learn with experience.
In this session we will go into the top 10 things you need to know about PostGIS to help improve your queries and to write cleaner and more efficient spatial queries.
We will be targeting the PostGIS 1.4/GEOS 3.1.0 release and PostgreSQL 8.3/8.4
