Hello all
Just out of curiosity, if a SQL-like database is used, why defining new
tables instead than using the EPSG ones directly? (note that EPSG allows
users to define their own CRS, provided that they use a code outside the
reserved range).
If peoples still prefer to define their own tables, then I would like to
make one suggestion:

I suggest to choose another name than EPSG, unless the proposed database
would be made compliant with points 6.v, vi and vii of EPSG Term of Use
(http://www.epsg.org/TermsOfUse). In my understanding the current CSV
file goes beyond the permitted modification of data, for example on axis
order. I realize that this is a controversial topic, and it is all right
if an other convention is preferred - we are just not supposed to call
that "EPSG".
Regards,
Martin
