After well over 2 years of development, there’s a new release, 2.0, of PostGIS. The old graybeard general wisdom was that one never took a x.0 release seriously as there were bound to be bugs. Still, I’m mildly intrigued as at work I have multiple millions of geolocated objects stored in PostGIS. There are a few queries that could use any help they can get. Then again, I really need to sit down, do some analysis and benchmarking, and really understand the distribution of my data.
Still, maybe a squeaky new PostGIS can help in the performance arena. Hopefully, the query selectivity has been improved at least.
