Database
---------------

OrbisGIS is build on top of a relational spatial database. All data are managed, queried from a JDBC driver.
By default OrbisGIS starts with the embedded spatial database H2GIS. However, OrbisGIS could be connected to a PostgresSQL-PostGIS database.



Load data
---------------

To load data, just choose "Add" or "Import" in the Geocatalog.

Note : because of OrbisGIS uses a RDBMS, a data is represented as a table and could be requested using the SQL languague.
