Hi, 

I expressed myself incorrectly. I use the term geodatabase referring to a 
storage of any data, which contains spatial informations. I am already using 
PostGIS/PostgreSQL and I am glad of it in 100%. I am working with it for the 
first time and my database contains vast amount of Geodata as well as auxiliary 
informations about features in in other tables. I just wanted to find some 
examples of such a databases to be sure, that I am organizing it in right way. 
I would like to get some overview on this topic form others experience. As I 
said before, I did not find anything except installation tutorials and this 
examples with Geodatabase.

Cheers
