Oracle Spatial is a feature of the Oracle Database that provides advanced capabilities for managing and analyzing spatial data. It allows users to store, query, and manipulate geographic information, such as maps and location-based data, using standard SQL queries. This functionality is essential for applications that require geographic analysis, like urban planning and environmental monitoring. With Oracle Spatial, users can perform complex spatial operations, such as calculating distances, finding intersections, and visualizing data on maps. It supports various data formats and standards, making it easier to integrate spatial data with other types of information in the database.
