All,

Don't know the specifics about the engine being used, but we discussed using the Plone storage mechanism, a few times, for spatial data. Just didn't seem like a quick enough payoff to try anything out. At least not on the surface.

There was a thought that there might be something to start with though.

¿Does anyone know about similar projects using object oriented databases, such

David and All,

A nice up-and-coming open Java geodatabase format is H2 + spatial extensions.

The H2 database is by the same guy that wrote that HSQL db. H2 has some good properties, most importantly, it's small (1 Mb), works well in embedded mode, and is fast. Adding in spatial data in JTS format, and providing a spatial index, is the basic concept.

Two implementations that I know of are

1. The French research group IRSTV, lead programmer seems to be Erwan Bocher.
http://geosysin.iict.ch/irstv-trac/wiki/H2spatial/Download

2. GeoTools has a H2 spatial module, written by Justin Deoliveira.
Here's a link to the compiled jars:
http://maven.geotools.fr/repository/org/geotools/gt2-h2/2.5-SNAPSHOT/

Both are under active development.

regards,
-Frank

Hey Folks,

Just wondering if there is still thought out there from the previous thread about a portable and open geodatabase. I came across the nemesis project "an experimental finite element code.
Utilizes SQLite
to store, handle and retrieve geometry and analysis data. "

http://www.nemesis-project.org/index.php/Main_Page

Thought that might be a good place to start that is already using geometry in sqlite.

As for software adoptions it looks like GRASS already has an
SQLITE driver.
QGIS looks hopeful. Here is a GRASS/QGIS-SQLITE tutorial
http://whatnick.blogspot.com/2007/12/using-sqlite-with-qgis-grass-tool
box.html

GDAL has some SQLITE http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html


Just some more info for the fire.

Cheers
