As we're on this subject... a friend asked me recently if I knew a way to get AppEngine to do bounding box requests, as far as he could tell it wasn't possible, I had a look and I couldn't see a way either. I think perhaps the issue was that he was using the GeoPt type but there's no way to access the lat/lon from within it in a search so if he just stored the lat/lon as separate fields that might work better. It's not something I've looked at too much but if anyone can offer a suggestion that would be good.
He was originally asking my about geohashing in case that would help but as far as I could tell it has the same problem as quadtiles in that if you're on the edge of a big tile you don't find stuff on the next tile. As it was a UK based app the meridian is likely to cause problems there. John On 21 Nov 2009, at 02:00, Ivan Lucena wrote: > Oracle Spatial does work in the EC2 environment.
