DBMS Server Enhancements
Geospatial Data Types and Functions
Ingres Geospatial allows geometry and geography related data to be stored in Ingres databases.
Ingres Geospatial supports the following:
• OGC SFS SQL (Open Geospatial Consortium Simple Feature Specification for SQL) version 1.1 data types and functions
• Spatial Reference/Coordinate Systems
• GDAL/OGR connectivity -- Applications such as Mapserver, Quantum GIS, and others that use OGR for vector data. GDAL/OGR must be built with Ingres support to access these features.
• A driver for Ingres support in GeoTools Java connectivity.
Ingres Geospatial replaces and is not compatible with the Spatial Objects Library that was provided in earlier releases of Ingres.
For more information, see the Geospatial User Guide.
