GIS Features

GIS stands for Geographic Information System .

MySQL operates on spatial data based on the OpenGIS standards, particularly the OpenGIS SFS (Simple feature access, SQL option).

Initial support was based on version 05-134 of the standard. MariaDB implements a subset of the 'SQL with Geometry Types' environment proposed by the OGC. And the SQL environment was extended with a set of geometry types.

MariaDB supports spatial extensions to operate on spatial features. These features are available for Aria, MyISAM, InnoDB, NDB, and ARCHIVE tables.

For spatial columns, Aria and MyISAM supports both SPATIAL and non-SPATIAL indexes. Other storage engines support non-SPATIAL indexes.

We aim at meeting the OpenGIS requirements. One thing missed in previous MariaDB versions is that the functions which check spatial relations didn't consider the actual shape of an object, instead they operate only on their bounding rectangles. These legacy functions have been left as they are and new, properly-working functions are named with an 'ST_' prefix, in accordance with the latest OpenGIS requirements. Also, operations over geometry features were added.

Spatial operators produce new geometries.

symdifference, notintersecting parts of A and B

returns the shape of the area that lies in 'radius' distance from the shape A.

Predicates return a boolean result of the relationship.

if A and B have an intersection

if A and B have no intersection
