nechcelo sa mi prekladat co som pisal inde ale snad rozumiete :

I need a sound advice about the GIS software analytical capabilities..
I've heard GRASS/QGIS is better for analyses while ArcGIS for common
GIS functions.. Is it right ?

I'm doing a Master Thesis project - GIS of whole southwest Slovakia
(but possibly even greater region in future - project is projected for
several years).. Localities will be divided according to accuracy (GPS
or other), function (cemetery etc.), period (Roman, German etc.) and
so on.. I'm in a phase of gathering data so analyses will not be
possible until data are ready.. But analyses will be my primary aim in
my Diploma thesis so I need to know now what software I should use..
Beside this fact, I'm not sure if I should use SQL database
(Postgresql - GRASS ?) or file database from ESRI package.. My
experiences are great with SQL databases of any kind and so I would
like to use it if possible but it's not so simple decision as it
seems..

Now I'd really need your advice from your experience..

dik za help..
