Description
We will need some kind of database for holding the Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) definitions. The main source of CRS definitions is the EPSG database (http://www.epsg.org), which provide their definitions as SQL scripts. The proposal is to use the database created by those scripts directly. We propose to support at least the following engine:
- Apache Derby (http://db.apache.org/derby)
- HSQL (http://hsqldb.org)
- PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org)
- Spark (http://spark.incubator.apache.org)
- MS-Access (actually the original EPSG format)
