Objet: RE: MI Autometric SQS
SQS, "Spatial Query Server", is an add-on for Sybase which allows you to
store and retrieve spatial database in a Sybase environment. Spceifically,
SQS is an Open Server. Your spatial data is stored in Sybase, and SQS runs
as a separate server process. You point your client software at SQS, and all
queries go through SQS. SQS handles the spatial part of any query, Sybase
will handle the non-spatial.
It is a relatively low-featured system, compared to, say, Spatialware. It
doesn't do lots of fancy manipulation, that sort of thing. It just stores
the spatial objects, and lets you retrieve them. You get all the usual
geographic-SQL operators, "contains", etc. I believe its main strengths are
firstly that it is an Open Server, which means that it's relatively easy to
write an Open Client to connect to it. Also price, and it is on Sybase
(which Spatialware can't handle).
We use it, and it's good (for us). I can give you more info if you need.
Autometric do have a web site.
