A spatial database, or geodatabase is a database that is optimized to store and query data that represents objects defined in a geometric space. Most spatial databases allow representing simple geometric objects such as points, lines and polygons. Some spatial databases handle more complex structures such as 3D objects, topological coverages, linear networks, and TINs. While typical databases are designed to manage various numeric and character types of data, additional functionality needs to be added for databases to process spatial data types efficiently. These are typically called geometry or feature. The Open Geospatial Consortium created the Simple Features specification and sets standards for adding spatial functionality to database systems.
Features of spatial databases
Database systems use indexes to quickly look up values and the way that most databases index data is not optimal for spatial queries. Instead, spatial databases use a spatial index to speed up database operations.
Spatial data is BIG. Sometimes, it’s too big - too big to render, analyze and interpret. One way of dealing with this challenge is the use of a support geography - a simplified representation of your data that is more manageable.
Enter Spatial Indexes.
Spatial Indexes are multi-resolution, hierarchical grids that are “geolocated” by a short reference string, rather than a complex geometry. Smaller to store and faster to process; they out-compete conventional geometries for complex data analysis and visualization.
