The Power of PostgreSQL & PostGIS
Interview with Paul Ramsey
Abstract:
In this article, we speak to Paul Ramsey about how both PostgreSQL and PostGIS can provide a solid foundation for any small to large organisational GIS architecture. Paul, a Solutions Engineer at Carto, has been working with geospatial software for over 15 years: consulting to government and industry; building a geospatial software company; and programming on open source software. He co-founded the PostGIS spatial database project in 2001 and is currently an active developer and member of the project steering committee. In 2008, Paul received the Sol Katz Award for achievement in open source geospatial software, and he speaks and teaches regularly at conferences around the world. In the following discussion, Paul provides some insights into the market position of PostgreSQL and PostGIS compared to that of big-name vendor options.
