Overview
PostGIS library adds extra types (geometry, geography, raster and others) to the PostgreSQL database.
It also adds functions and indexes that apply to those types.
It does this by:
- Building a C library that PostgreSQL can load into a postgres backend.
- Binding the functions and structures in that library to SQL types and functions.
