PostGIS provides support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database and is currently the most popular open source spatial databases.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to explore the complete range of PostGIS techniques and expose related extensions, then this book is for you.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a comprehensive guide to PostGIS tools and concepts which are required to manage, manipulate, and analyze spatial data in PostGIS. It covers key spatial data manipulation tasks, explaining not only how each task is performed, but also why. It provides practical guidance allowing you to safely take advantage of the advanced technology in PostGIS in order to simplify your spatial database administration tasks. Furthermore, you will learn to take advantage of basic and advanced vector, raster, and routing approaches along with the concepts of data maintenance, optimization, and performance, and will help you to integrate these into a large ecosystem of desktop and web tools.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end, you will be armed with all the tools and instructions you need to both manage the spatial database system and make better decisions as your project's requirements evolve.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyle and approach\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive guide uses a problem-solving approach to help you acquire a solid understanding of PostGIS.\u003c/p\u003e
