PostGIS is a little more than SQL, SQL enables you to query it, but it provides you with a lot of GIS functionality. I woudn't load a million rows into Pharo memory to search nearby locations to a coordinate, or group results based on whether they are inside of a certain boundary.

If its worth, I might end up creating those abstractions. So I can also create the proper "converter" to map back and forth using GLORP. Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo
