you might look at rasdaman running on top of PostgreSQL (www.rasdaman.org). Supports n-D arrays + an SQL-style array query language.

Hi All,

sorry for asking, but what do you think is a good choice of spatial database 
for high performance geo-computing?

In some high performance computing scenarios, data size tends to be huge, and a 
bunch of computer clusters work together with high throughput and tense 
computation. sometimes we use parallel filesystems like lustre, gfs, hdfs to 
handle specific problems but what if a spatial database?

I explored some of postgresql cluster solutions, such as streaming replication, 
pgpool, slony and so on. I think most of them are designed for failover, and 
they might not be able to stand up with the huge data size and high performance 
demands. the case is quite alike in oracle and db2 spatial, i think.

so any suggestions for projects aiming to build a distributed and parallel 
spatial database running on a cluster?

Thanks,
shuai
