Stephane, you've already figured out that R-tree indexes support
the query you're trying to benchmark. Systems that have R-tree
indexes are vastly better at that query than B-trees. PostGIS
would be a good choice.

Since there is an open-source transactional database that handles
spatial data and has a license that can be used in commercial
projects, there's no great push in Firebird to add R-trees.

Cheers,

Ann
