postgis & osm2pgsql vs osmconvert & -filter: which methods are best?

[Guest sayhello]

hello dear Linux-experts

 

today i have a difficult question: what should i use:

 

PostGis as a solution for getting a database populated by osm2pgsql or osmconvert / -filter to create csv-sheets

 

aimed is to transform data out of German osm-pbf-files - in order to get the data (not to creat maps again)

 

see the source (s)= http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany.html ranging form 10 MB (Bremen) to 390 MB (Nordrhein Westfalen) the osm.pbf-files are not too big; Question: which method is the best - the most appropiate? - to store the results in a mysql-db or just have big calc-sheets (with csv-data)

 

 

love to hear from you

 

many many greetings
