     9PostgreSQL is a robust, fully ACID compliant, relational database management system. It is especially useful in high volume environments and has other features that make it ideal for use in science applications. PostgreSQL has a long and venerable history. It was originally developed in 1986 at the University of California, Berkeley as a research prototype, and is now distributed worldwide as open source software.

     11For working with MapServer, PostgreSQL requires an extension called PostGIS witch implements the Open GIS Consortium SQL object model (http://www.opengis.org/docs/99-049.pdf). For more information about PostGIS you can visit its home page http://postgis.refractions.net/
