Well, I’m one of the college dudes you had the big suggestion for. I still think if you are aiming to spend your life on a beach in, say, Sri Lanka, where meeting sponsors would be difficult, then development is the way forward. If the cost of living is low then you don’t need top dollar to live your happy hippie existence.

Other years, I have stayed in the city to cut down on the driving but that’s not really feasible for me this year due to other commitments.

We can’t be expected to spend extra money on eg accomodations when gas and time are so much cheaper. But we can expect some political leadership to get the ground rules changed…….oh wait…did I just say political leadership?

From the surface, it looked as if it wasn’t a centrally-managed sort of thing, but now you have cleared that up, I can certainly see where you are coming from. Thanks for the info.

Cheers
James

We had demand for both but just got to this point with PostgreSQL first. PostgreSQL will provide a nice open-source alternative for the centrally-managed model that we current use with SQL Server and I can see SQLite working well for remote or field implementations.

I like them both and will be happy when both implementations are ready. I don’t really expect to need to go through these machinations with SQLite.

I’d be interested in knowing whether you looked at spatialite? From the surface, looks like it may have fitted quite nicely. If you did consider it, what were the reasons for going with postgres?

The data would be easy enough to get.
