Step 5: PostgreSQL
<- Step 4: Hello geGIS Step 6: PostGis ->
In step 4 a first application was already running on the geGIS platform. Now it is time to make a more complex application.
The idea is to make a demo application using data from Wevelgem municipality. Steps 1 through 4 are supposed to have been completed successfully. In these and in the following steps we will make an application which takes its data from a database and allows changes to be made.
This step is aimed at installing a database. For this purpose PostgreSQL was chosen because it is a free and fast database in which spatial information can also be processed (see also step 6). PostgreSQL can be downloaded here. Select the regular zip (postgresql-8.1.8-1.zip) and open it. You will see that it contains 2.msi files. Double click on the smallest of the two (postgresql-8.1.msi). Do not worry. If you clicked on the wrong one, you will receive a message. Now you begin with the installation procedure. The procedure described below is PostgreSQL version 8.1.
Vervolgens beginnen we aan de installatieprocedure. De procedure die hieronder beschreven staat is van PostgreSQL versie 8.1.
