cube is a dependency for earthdistance and it's gotten some light advocacy throughout the years as the 'way to do it'. I tried it myself way back in the day and concluded a while back that the 'box' type + gist was better than earthdistance for bounding box operations -- it just seemed easier to understand and use. If you search the archives you'll probably find a couple of examples of me suggesting as such. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
