Can a spherical Mercator projection be used in PostGIS?
The way column holds the PostGIS geometry in spherical web mercator projection or if you used the reproject switch, a different projection.

How to import OSM data into PostgreSQL Slim mode?
Here we have database ‘potsgres’ in Postgresql with a user. In the command we specify option -s is slim mode,Store temporary tables in database. This allows incremental updates using diff files also available at OSM data servers, and reduces memory usage at a cost in disk space and import time. This mode of operation is recommended.

How does a spatial join work in Java?
A spatial join involves matching rows from the join layer to the target layer based on a spatial relationship and writing to an output feature class. When a match is found during processing, a row is added to the output feature class containing the shape and attributes from the target layer and the matching attributes from the join layer.

What happens when data is loaded into PostGIS?
If your data loaded, you should see three new tables all with a column called way that holds the PostGIS geometry and another column called tags which holds the hstore key value pairs.
