SPATIAL DATA IN ORACLE DATABASE

More and more applications work with digital geographical data is occurring in the present era. Users of these applications are more and more ambitious and are looking for applications that are able to assist them and give them information as simply as possible. One example of this typical information is: the shortest way to work. There are still more causes when we lose paper data because of natural disasters such as floods or hurricanes and these press us to consider data digitalization, saving and archiving data. This work describes one of the themes that should help us to solve this problem. This theme is storing and the manipulation of geographical data. Geographical data involves the problems of geographical information systems which are very often requested in the present digital era. There are many applications that are able to navigate us to a target on the internet. This problematic is not only about to find the shortest way to a target but also a lot of companies use these applications for planning and developing industrial networks, house development and they are also useful in connection with applications for facility management. Spatial data uses geographical data, and thus it is very easy to imagine that the amount of this data could very quickly reach size in hundreds of terabytes. For this size of data it is necessary to find an appropriate warehouse and mainly efficient management. This functionality is offered by the most extended database ORACLE with Oracle Spatial extension
