I am trying to think of ways to use the newly available CurveFitter to speed up work processes. Could the resulting data be saved to a PostGIS database? It seems so from the documentation I have found, but the info is very vague.

If PostGIS would not work, is there some other database format that would accept the curves/arcs?

 

@aron​ CurveFitter is a great transformer for both recovering arcs from data that has been stroked into lines (i.e. road edges in cul de sacs) or reducinging the volume of data - particularly for contour data without - losing detail.

Pretty well any database that supports circular arcs and aggregates should work with CurveFitter. PostGIS SQL Server Spatial, GeoPackage and more should all be fine. The only thing to watch is to avoid reprojecting after the CurveFitter, as the circular arcs might shift to ellipses which may end up being stroked.
