Bringing in Features from PostgreSQL/PostGIS
The OSGeo FDO provider for PostgreSQL/PostGIS has 32-bit and 64-bit versions
on Windows and Linux. For AutoCAD Map 3D, it is certified for PostGIS 1.4.0
with PostgreSQL 8.4.
PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational
database so that the PostgreSQL server can be used as a back end spatial
database for GIS. When you view and edit features from a PostgreSQL data
source, you can do the following:
■ Select the feature classes to include in your map.
■ Set conditions to limit the features in your map.
■ Style, theme, and edit the features.
■ Automatically update the data source with any edits you make.
Your edits are immediately visible to anyone else using the data source.
■ View and edit the schema definition.
■ Create a PostgreSQL data source.
■ Move other geospatial data (for example, SHP data) into PostgreSQL, to
take advantage of better data sharing.
