Hi David,
Hi from your neighbours just over the border (plus 5 miles).
We’re using GeoServer with Oracle (we’re a joint Oracle and MS house), but are interested in moving toward PostGIS as a long-term goal. It wouldn’t really save any money for us as the authority will still be spending through the nose for Oracle for other services.
One other advantage to PostGIS is that it is supported by much more Open Source software than the proprietary solutions - QGIS has only just acquired Oracle support for instance, there are better tools for loading OpenStreetMap to it etc.
See also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3743632/gis-postgis-postgresql-vs-mysql-vs-sql-server - although the comparisons are dated (PostGIS is at 2.0, I imagine there’s a newer SQL Server too)
Regards,
Jonathan
(Warwickshire County Council)

Please can someone tell me how to convert values returned from a wfs request through a url into Lat Lon values?
At present values are returned as EPSG:27700 with OS Northings and Eastings values.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On a different note is there a compelling argument to use PostGIS opposed to SQL server in a VERY Microsoft based organisation.
