Quote:I own a company that primarily focuses on MySQL-related services. I personally recommend PostgreSQL for tasks that require for instance advanced geospatial capabilities, since MySQL only has rudimentary planar support and PostGIS is fully featured. I say this without any qualification or malintent. When it comes to GIS, PostgreSQL is probably the best choice out there. It can also be an excellent choice for other deployments.
So what are advanced geospatial capabilities?
(GeoSpatial Intelligence) is intelligence derived from the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information that describes, assesses, and visually depicts physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth. GEOINT consists of imagery, imagery intelligence (IMINT) and geospatial information.[1] ~Wikipedia
