+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.
+
+This requires postgresql.
