An Open Source Mapping Application for Hatchery Release Data in the Columbia River Basin The Fish Passage Center (FPC) maintains a hatchery database of anadromous salmonid species released from State, Federal, and Tribal hatcheries in the Columbia River Basin. This database is updated routinely throughout the fish passage season. Over the past year, the location of the hatcheries and the release sites were mapped and an online mapping application was developed to allow the users of this database a spatial view of where hatcheries have released anadromous salmonids throughout... |

Delineating Service Areas of Public Facilities Defining the service areas of public facilities is an important task in urban planning. It is essential in assessing the quality, efficiency, and equity of all sorts of service provisions. In addition, delineating service areas is a prerequisite in many location analysis and spatial optimization applications. Delineating the service areas of facilities can be a very complex process. Depending on the characteristics of the public facilities and the scale of spatial data, facilities can... |

From Oracle/SDE to PostgreSQL/Postgis in real life The case is that we have tables with GB's of data. This tables are updated regularly by different users and applications. Mapserver is used for WMS and is connected to Oracle. We can not change all the applications to use postgresSQL and we can not except all user's to switch from Oracle to postgresSQL overnight. One place to start would be to use mapserver against Postgis. To do this we only need to make a copy of the data from Oracle to PostgreSQL. The Oracle database will... |

Efficiently using PostGIS with QGIS PostGIS is the reference OpenSource spatial database everyone uses. QGIS is the dynamically growing desktop GIS everyone will be using. Using both together should therefore be a blast! QGIS allows connecting to a PostGIS database for long, and if you stay with this bare functionality, it works seamlessly. But taking the most out of this couple needs a bit of experience and can be complex. This talk gives you an insight on how to use efficiently QGIS with POSTGIS.
