Spatial Schema
As seem in Data Architecture, there are a variety of spatial database schemas available. This data is stored differently from Spatial file-based systems.
- Oracle Spatial
- PostGIS
- MySQL Spatial
- MSSQL Spatial
The schema works with database oriented aspects of spatial data.
Typical spatial data tables would include the tables below. This is adopted from Oracle Spatial, which has well-defined data constructs.
- Table: geo_zoom
- Table: geo_layer
- Table: geo_collection
- Table: geo_element
- Table: geo_geometry
- Table: geo_polygon
- Table: geo_line
- Table: geo_point
