I'm new user of PostGIS and PostgreSQL to ask, if there is window for visualization of data, similar to MS SQL or Oracle? If yes, where?
I am not aware of such a tool. postgis is just an extension of postgresql; basically it manages data.
I would recommend you to use QGIS (it is a open source GIS visualisation software).
Download QGIS from https://www.qgis.org/
GO to the pluggin manager and install the Database connection manager
Go to Layer/Add postgis layer
Configure a connection to your existing postgis database
Choose the table you want to import.
(in fact any GIS visualization software should do the trick, but QGIS is free ;)

I have an old application handling data on a DB2 server (Linux version, 9.7 express-c) and I need to upgrade the server. I searched on the IBM site and I found that the last "free" version (11.5) is the only one available, but I cannot restore a backup taken from a 9.7 directly into the 11.5.
Is there any other way instead of using db2look and db2move?
Do anyone know if it's possible to find the 11.1 developer Linux version?
You can download the server-fixpack via https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6427871
( IBM registration is required ),
This is an indirect way to IBM passport advantage website. It's important to choose the "DB2 Server Fix Pack" as distinct from other images. It is wise to always download the most recent fixpack for the release when using the Server-Fixpack, these fixpacks are cumulative and do not require the base version to be preinstalled.
You can get a trial license with it and just do the intermediate restore (from the v9.7 backup-image into a disposable Db2 v11.1 instance, then backup that database offline and copy the image to a place accessible to your Db2 v11.5 new instance.
You can then drop the v11.1 db2instance, and uninstall the Db2 v11.1 product.
Finally restore that Db2 v11.1 backup image into your Db2 v11.5 instance. This will upgrade the database to the Db2 v11.5 release, consider running db2updv115 afterwards, and revalidating all objects with SYSPROC.ADMIN_REVALIDATE_DB_OBJECTS etc.
Whether the above indirect method is quicker (or easier) than using db2move to export and load, will depend on the complexity of your database. Worth checking...if your Db2 v9.7 instance is still running of course.
Other methods are possible, if you want to spend $$ on recovery tools that extract data from backup images.
I installed PostGis in the docker, in the standard database there are all the necessary extensions, but when creating a new one there are none, what do I need to do to fix this?
If you already has the libraries installed in the system, just connect to the database geo and execute the create extension:
CREATE EXTENSION postgis
Keep in mind that you have to additionally CREATE EXTENSION in the database you want, unless you create the database based on a template that already has PostGIS installed.
From the PostGIS documentation :
Once postgis is installed, it needs to be enabled in each individual
database you want to use it in.
I have a problem with PostGIS and a connection to QGIS. I successfully connected to a database on a server but when I try to add a PostGIS Table, I am getting warning symbols next to all my tables. I have permission to all the tables and I am using the latest version of QGIS.
Any hints?
#kylie In your database create spatial reference system.
For postgresql----> create extension postgis
Has anyone managed to use Postgresql as a datasource for SSAS? The Postgresql .NET connector seems promising, but the SSAS view wizard does not seem to be able to see the tables in the database.
Try using the ODBC connector. I've had success getting other tools to connect to PG using it. The EnterpriseDB installers not only include a well packaged, working version of PG for windows, they include working, correctly installed drivers.
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload
try pg_bulkload for load from via c# & from mssql to pgsql
copy & bcp (ssis) for second direction (pgsql->ssas)

It is actually possible to hack the Postgresql .NET connector and implement a "MSSQL compatibility mode", where the [ and ] around tables and schema names are removed. Using this, the list of tables does not appear in MS SSAS, but it is possible to replace them by views.
I'm in need of a functional OleDB data provider for PostgreSQL. It should be similar to the ODBC provider for MySQL. See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/5.1.html
The postgres software catalog has some providers on there.
dotConnect for PostgreSQL (from Devart) offers a pretty good one. It is fast and works. The free version will give you your basic ADO.net support, the pay offers everything else. ODBC doesn't have a free version.

edit
Adding the direct link to the ODBC connector as it is on a separate page.
https://www.devart.com/odbc/postgresql/
If you want to check the last version of ODBC for PosgreSQL :
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/
Enter in the "msi" folder for the installer.
But be careful, when you are using ODBC, there is a 32bits and a 64bits version. So choose the right one.
