My company uses geometry (the_geom) data type for storing geospatial data.

I've recently been acquainted to the concept of geography (the_geog) data type which, as I understand it, stores the SRID along with the geometry.

What are the differences between geography and geometry, and is there any advantage of using one of them in large databases?
