Synopsis

Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g shows how to take advantage of Oracle Databases built–in feature set for working with location–based data.

• The special nature of spatial data and its role in professional and consumer applications
• Issues in spatial data management such as modeling, storing, accessing, and analyzing spatial data
• The Oracle Spatial solution and the integration of spatial data into enterprise databases
• How spatial information is used to understand business and support decisions, to manage customer relations, and to better serve private and corporate users

Albert Godfrind consults widely with Oracle clients on the implementation of Oracle Spatial, develops training courses, and presents frequently at conferences. Together they have crafted a technically sound and authoritative fountain of information on working with spatial data in the Oracle database.
