Geospace Databases

A spatial database is a database that has been optimized to store and query data that represents the defined objects in a geometric space. Most spatial databases allow the representation of simple geometric objects such as points, lines and polygons. Some spatial databases handle more complex structures, such as three-dimensional objects, topological coverage, linear networks, raster files, and TIN files. Alphanumeric information of all kinds can be associated with each element captured and stored within a spatial database, from which it is possible to carry out all kinds of queries, spatial and statistical analyzes, among many other applications.
