Geometric data types (according to OpenGIS) and data types for porting applications from PostgreSQL have been introduced in Linter.

New data types have been introduced in Linter.

Linter now supports geometric data types according to OpenGIS:

• POINT
• LINESTRING
• POLYGON
• MULTIPOINT
• MULTILINESTRING
• MULTIPOLYGON
• GEOMETRYCOLLECTION

The new data types allow creating, saving and analyzing geographic data.

Also, the following data types have been introduced to make it easy to port applications from PostgreSQL to Linter:

• BOX

The new data types will be available in all Linter versions, starting from 5.9. The updated Linter version will be presented at SofTool'2005.
