Re: storing latitude and longitude

Sorry I'm not of much help but...
did you check the data types page?
http://postgresql.mirrors-r-us.net/docs/8.2/interactive/datatype-geometric.html
http://postgresql.mirrors-r-us.net/docs/8.2/interactive/datatype-numeric.html

That mainly depends on how many digits you need to store, if that's not
enough you can always use the NUMERIC data type or create your own...
