# The geo/pgrouting port

## pgrouting-2.0.0p0 – geospatial routing extension for PostgreSQL

## Description

    pgRouting extends the PostGIS / PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide
    geospatial routing functionality.

    Advantages of the database routing approach are:

    * Data and attributes can be modified by many clients, like QGIS and
      uDig through JDBC, ODBC, or directly using Pl/pgSQL. The clients can
      either be PCs or mobile devices.
    * Data changes can be reflected instantaneously through the routing
      engine. There is no need for precalculation.
    * The "cost" parameter can be dynamically calculated through SQL and its
      value can come from multiple fields or tables.
