PostGIS 3.6.0dev Manual
DEV (Sun 22 Dec 2024 05:51:08 PM UTC rev. 04ef40a )
Abstract
PostGIS is an extension to the PostgreSQL object-relational database system which allows GIS (Geographic Information Systems) objects to be stored in the database. PostGIS includes support for GiST-based R-Tree spatial indexes, and functions for analysis and processing of GIS objects.
