help ! geometric operators and functions

Dear molinet,

you may want to check out PostGIS (http://postgis.refractions.net/)

"PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL
<http://www.us.postgresql.org/&gt; object-relational database. In effect,
PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be
used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems
(GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension".

There is also a PostGIS mailinglist, btw.

Does somebody use the geometric operators and function from
postgreSQL, I would
like to ask some question how to use them. (for example translation +,
rotation *, ...).
Beginner with postgreSQL, I would wish to inform me on this subject so
to implement a small spatial data base.
thanks for your help
