Spatial Partners

SQL Server 2008 makes available support for the much anticipated spatial technology. The spatial enhancements found in SQL Server 2008 will help allow developers to bring location intelligence to any application. Customers and partners can consume, use, and extend location-based data through spatial-enabled applications and build location-aware applications by using new spatial data capabilities in SQL Server 2008. Microsoft has a robust partner ecosystem that is already developing solutions that utilize the spatial enhancements. Microsoft is extending the use and value of spatial technology by integrating it directly within SQL Server at no additional cost (compared to the alternatives).

위 회사중 제가 아는데는 4군데 정도 밖에 안되네요

• ESRI 설명이 필요없죠...
• Autodesk도 구지 설명은 필요없겠죠
• Intergraph : 미국 국방부하고 밀접한 관련이있다는 애기를 언뜻 들었습니다. 걸프전때 혁혁한 공을 세웠다는 애기도 들었습니다.
      (PDS 또는 SmartPlant 3D 라는 3D CAD로 우리나라에서는 더 알려지지 않았나 생각됩니다.)
• Pitney Bowes Mapinfo : 옛날 Mapinfo사가 Pitney Bowes사로 넘어가서 생긴 새로운(?) 회사

여기서 문제는 Awhere, Inc 이회사는 처음 봤을때 어디서 많이 봤는데 생각이 들더군요... 그 출처는 만도 맵피 지도서비스에서 아래 첨부합니다 증거자료...

같은 회사인지는 모르겠습니다.

시스템 개요^#

Oracle Spatial & Oracle Locator ^#

 Spatial Option은 제가 기억으로는 Oracle 9i Enterprise 이상 버전과 Microsoft SQL 2008 부터 스페셜옵션이 지원됩니다.

그러나 Oracle Enterprise 버전은 워낙에 고가의 제품이기 때문에 이용에 따른 비용 부담이 상당히 큽니다.

그 대체 할수 있는것이 Oracle Locator라 할 수 있습니다.

Locator는 Oracle 10g Standard 버전부터 지원되며 가격이 저렴한 편에 속합니다.(Standard ONE 같은 경우는 상당히 저렴)

제가 써본 결과 Mapinfo의 기능을 이용하는데는 Locator로도 충분히 기능 활용이 가능합니다.(Oracle에서 싫어 할 애기가 아닌가 생각됩니다.)

그러나 예기치 않은 오류 발생시 작성자 본인도 보장 못한다는 점 유의하시기 바랍니다.

원래는 Mapinfo의 SpatialWare라는 제품이 있습니다. 옛날에는  SpatialWare를 이용하여야지만 이용 할 수 있었으나

Mapinfo에서 Oracle에 공간질의기술인 Spatial 기술을 제공하여 Mapinfo와 Oracle을 이용하면 타 GIS시스템과 달리 미들웨어등이 필요하지 않습니다.

삼성오피스컴퓨터(주)에서 발췌한 SpatialWare Products 내용 발췌

 SpatialWare와 상용 RDBMS인 Oracle, Informix, MS-SQL 등을 사용하여 위치 기반의 공간 데이터와 일반 속성 데이터를 통합 관리할 수 있도록 저장, 관리, 표준 SQL3(SQL/MM)를 따르는 공간길의(Spatial Query) 기능을 제공함으로서 서비스의 기능향상과 다양성을 추구하는 Spatial Data Server 솔루션.

(심심해서 타이핑해 봄 ^^;;)

 

 

• Oracle, Informix, MS-SQL등과 지리정보 및 속성 자료 통합관리
• Multi-User Transaction 위주의 공간 인덱스 (R-tree)구축 설계
• R-Tree 방식의 신속한 공간 색인 방식
• 대용량의 멀티 유저 트랜잭션 처리

• MapInfo Professional, MapX, AutoCAD, ArcView등 다양한 클라이언트 선택
