Re: [Pgarc-user] Overflow with 6 digit srid

Yes, I've tried it with both ArcGIS (ArcView) 8.3 and 9.0 connecting
to native windows postgresql 8.0 beta3 and postgis 0.9. Performance
was very good on 12,000 polygons. I was able to query, thematically
map, join, etc. That's why I am surprised that people aren't jumping
all over it.

So it's got to be compiled VB, right? And can not simply be run from
the VBA "macro" interpreter?
