GeoDjango adapter #60

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GeoDjango (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/) is very 
attractive standard Django contrib app. 

Currently IBM DB2 is not supported by GeoDjango. 

DB2 has support for GIS for more than 10 years (DB2 Spatial extender), and is 
free-of-charge: "you can take advantage of the DB2 Spatial Extender free of 
charge in all DB2 editions, including DB2 Express-C."

/index.html

Fast analysis of existing backend implementations gives impression that 
implementing DB2 GeoDjango backend shouldn't be too complex, but for sure it is 
not simple.

We didn't get any customer request for this. Once Antonio Cangiano himself 
suggested for this.

Any progress on that ticket? Is there a chance that this will get implemented 
soon?

Currently we didn't start working on this ticket. 

For which database(DB2/Informix) you wants to use GeoDjango?

I wanted to use DB2 and django with jython. But I just discovered that there is 
no geodjango support for jython yet :/

I think I'll have to check other options.
