SpatialWare ® allows users to store, access, manage, and manipulate spatial data as a standard part of their business data. Users may query both spatial and non-spatial data within a single SQL Server query. Spatial data may be a part of a SQL Server database for insert, update, or delete. All of the strengths of SQL Server as a relational database are extended to spatial data using SpatialWare. Spatial data may, for example, be directly managed and edited by multiple users. SpatialWare is accessible via standard SQL Server client interfaces, and other MapInfo products are compatible for use in a client-server setup. Spatial queries can be automatically executed using database triggers or scheduled jobs. Spatial data is stored as a regular column in the SQL Server database and an efficient form of spatial indexing is available with SpatialWare.
