    PostGIS is an open source spatial database extender for PostgreSQL that allows GIS (geographic information systems) objects to be stored and used in queries. It provides support for geographic objects allowing location queries and processing of spatial data. PostGIS allows spatial queries on geometric data types and makes geometric functions for analyzing and processing spatial data available in SQL. Examples of functions include calculating distances and areas, generating random points within shapes, building polygons around points, and overlaying layers.
