Hi Paolo,

I'm not really responding to your question. It happens that I collaborated
on a postgres/postgis based solution for public transportation and the
motive why you are trying to put the database in the embedded hardware is
puzzling to me. In this solution we used a centralized PG database, the
devices in buses captured geographical position and other business related
data and fetched it by cellular network to the central server.
Calculations on position where made on the server and related events where
fetched back accordingly.

If possible, I would like to know what drives you to put a database on each
device? You dont have a wireless link on each unit?

We never considered that solution so I couldn´t say.
