Data Formats: PostgreSQL PostGIS

The LuciadLightspeed Database Connectors option provides provides support for seamlessly integrating PostgreSQL PostGIS databases into LuciadLightspeed applications.

PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS). PostGIS introduces additional SQL types for representing various geometries. These can be inserted as single entities into the spatial columns, which can co-exist with traditional non-spatial columns.

The PostgreSQL Manual and PostGIS Manual provide all the necessary information on setting up, maintaining, and using spatial databases. This guide explains how spatial data can be imported from, and exported to, spatial databases.
