Hi all,
Has any there been any discussion about the implementing spatial
objects in future releases of InterBase? The reason I ask is that
Oracle 8i "natively" supports spatial objects and I would like to
have or be able to suggest possible alternatives.
Let me explain what I mean by spatial objects. Basically what I am
talking about is storing data for GIS(Geographic Information System)
applications. For a better explanation and more details (from an
Oracle point of view) see http://www.oracle.com/da
tabase/options/spatial/index.html.
Thank you
Bryan
