PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL" and has been certified as compliant with the "Types and Functions" profile.
regress passes (37 tests) on macppc. note: to run the regression test, you must have a running server with a "postgres" admin. Also, you probably want to use the default trust auth to run all the tests. If needed, use a temporary database for that.
