PostgreSQL, PostGIS & pgRouting

PostgreSQL is a free object-relational database management system (ORDBMS).

PostGIS is a free geographic information system, which extends the object-relational database PostgreSQL to geographical objects and functions. PostGIS implements the OpenGIS Simple Features Specification of the Open Geospatial Consortium.

The module pgRouting  module extends a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database with route planning functionality. pgRouting allows the creation of topologies and solving various "shortest path" problems.
