Spatial Database

Oracle’s spatial database is an integrated part of Oracle's converged database, enabling developers, analysts, and geographic information system (GIS) professionals to manage geospatial data, perform analysis, add location-based services to applications, and visualize through interactive maps.

Why use Oracle Spatial?

  • Bring the power of location intelligence to decision-making

    Everything happens somewhere, so add location-based services and intelligence to your decision-making for a competitive advantage. Business analysts can visualize spatial data and discover patterns with easy-to-use, low-code tools to run analyses and create maps, while developers can simplify integration of spatial data in their apps.

  • Comprehensive support for geospatial use cases

    Handle advanced requirements for spatial modeling and spatial data management, including vector, raster, LiDAR, and network models. Support demanding and complex geospatial use cases at scale as well as geospatial use cases from transportation, government, utilities, telecommunications, and other industries.

  • Enterprise-scale spatial processing and analytics

    Benefit from scalability, high availability, security, and other converged features of Oracle Database when running spatial analytics and eliminate a need for separate spatial databases. Oracle Spatial is tightly integrated with Oracle Analytics and APEX, as well as third-party GIS tools. Leverage additional automation through Oracle Autonomous Database and extreme processing capabilities through Oracle Exadata.

Get started with spatial—without coding

Explore geospatial data and integrate location intelligence into your apps with a no-code mapping tool, Spatial Studio.

New built-in geocoding API in Autonomous Database

Adding location intelligence to your apps and analytics just got easier with the new geocoding API in Autonomous Database. It converts your address data into geographic coordinates without purchasing separate reference data.

Spatial vector tiles and H3 support in Oracle Database 23ai

Generate vector tiles via an in-database function and stream them for scalable, flexible maps within your apps. In addition, create compelling, easy-to-use visuals via hexagonal hierarchical spatial indexing (H3).

“With the new Oracle Spatial vector tiles and H3 mapping features, we will be able to create meaningful maps based on large amounts of traffic accident data right from Oracle Database 23ai at super-fast speeds. With vector tiles, we'll be able to display 100s of 1,000s of crashes in just a few seconds. This will enable us to deliver an analysis and reporting engine to make better decisions faster using the best data available, improving and making roadways safer for the public.”
