Abstract

Existing relational database management systems need to be extended with spatial functions for storing, editing, viewing and analysis of spatial data. In this paper we showcase technologies for implementing spatial databases with focus on PostGIS extension for PostgreSQL relational database management system. The paper lists pros of using this technology and explains techniques and algorithms for indexing spatial data along with data types supported by mentioned systems. At the end of this paper we described our own solution of spatial database implementation for multiuser access, which we demonstrated by building simple but efficient application for using spatial data.
