Hi,

Documentation at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/datatype-geometric.html#AEN65
66 provides an explanation of the PostgreSQL geometric data type for a
circle, defined by the two coordinates of a center point and a value that
defines the radius of the circle.

What would be the easiest way to store in PostgreSQL an arc or partial
circle, defined by the two coordinates of a center point, the two
coordinates of the two end points of the arc and the radius of the circle of
which the arc is a part?

Regards, Jk.
