Hi Arnaud, Sorry for coming late to this discussion. I can offer another random generator (see below) as well as a well-defined benchmark based on real world data: "The HSR Texas Spatial Database Benchmark" (see http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/Benchmark ). If you want larger real world data then one c

I understand better the interest of the Gis Index ! Thank you for your answer. I do not want to evaluate the postgis vs other database, just the time the queries will take for 1000 10 000 or more objects. The use case will be this one : We have several thousands of vessels and every 5 seconds I mu

Thanks you for your answers. I can understand your objections but how can I make this process better ? Also, my tests gave me some strange results. For the first set, I did the process explain before without a gis index (gist). And for the seconde one I built a gis index. I was expected better res

Oh, no, the results will still be biased by the particular polygon data. You'll have a "how postgis performs doing p-i-p against a world countries file" result. Which isn't a generic "how postgis performs doing p-i-p" result by any stretch of the imagination. P. On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 10:30 AM,

To eliminate the problemas presented by Paul, create a regular grid of 1x1 degrees and populate it randomly with points. Then make your test. All square polygons will have 4 vertexes and the test is "less biased". George On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 3:22 PM, Paul Ramsey wrote: > Depends on who you t

Depends on who you think the results will be valid for. The countries-of-the-world is a somewhat non-standard GIS collection given the wide variation in polygon sizes, the large numbers of vertices in the larger polygons, and the extreme coverage of the overall area that the bounding boxes of the l

Hi all, I've to do a quick benchmark of postgis. The case is to check if a point is inside (or not) a polygon. To do so, I've uploaded in my database a big shapefile which contains all the world's countries. After that I've made a simple stored function [1]. This one, take two arguments : 1 - The
