Hello. Is there amy kind of embeddable (java) database or database I can expect an end-user to install (no PostGIS or manually installing the mysql-gis-extension) that supports spatial indice?
I tried storing a z-tree of the coordinates in one indexed column in HSQLDB and the performance was worse then using a multi-column -index.
