Hi again !
I am using GeoServer 1.3. Could anyone explain me what is "Properties" Data Store ?
Than, which is the difference between SHP Indexed and PostGIS when I do spatial queries?
Thanks.

It's a demo data store backed by simple property files, mainly used for testing.
Than, which is the difference between SHP Indexed and PostGIS when I do spatial queries?
When simply querying for bbox you should not hit significant differences, but postgis is better suited for huge data amounts,
and for cases in which you want to use WFS-T is definitely better
(more stable and tested... we don't pass the WFS CITE tests with
shapefile, we do with Postgis).
Also, postgis can leverage other indexes too, whilst shapefile
is stuck with the spatial index alone.
Hope this helps
Cheers

is bad and developers do read the users ml as well (and answer as they
can)
