its useful. Both Oracle and Mysql have GIS facilities ( before the purists jump on me, I mean they have datatypes specifically designed for storing Geospatial data). but some computer programming experience might also be used to support this too. |

^ Sql Server has that too, and the express version is free like MySql. Most enterprise level db servers should have GIS. @OP The direction you take might depend more on the platforms you will develop on (Linux, Windows, Android etc). You might also want to look at key-value db systems, like Hadoop, Redis etc; these tend to be between tens and hundreds of times faster and more scalable than RDBS. That way, you can free yourself off being tied to a specific database vendor and express yourself with code instead. |
