PostGIS Description
PostGIS serves as an extension for the PostgreSQL object-relational database, enhancing its capabilities with spatial features that enable the execution of geographic queries in SQL. Beyond just fundamental location functionalities, it provides a variety of advanced tools and features that are less common in other spatial databases like Oracle Locator/Spatial and SQL Server. Additionally, with PostgreSQL 14, PostGIS can take advantage of the improved GiST building support API, which significantly boosts performance. When compiled with the latest GEOS 3.10.1, users can benefit from enhancements in the ST_MakeValid function along with various speed optimizations, making it a powerful choice for handling spatial data effectively. This ensures that developers and analysts can work with geospatial data in a more efficient and streamlined manner.
