Hi Jamey,
In playing with a trial copy of Virtuoso 6.2 (Commercial Edition),
I've noticed that it appears that its geospatial capabilities only
cover points. For example:
SQL> select st_geomfromtext('LINESTRING(3 4,10 50,20 25)');
*** Error 37000: [Virtuoso Driver][Virtuoso Server]GEO..: Bad
geometry syntax LINESTRING(3 4,10 50,20 25), only formats like
point(12 23) are allowed.
Am I correct in interpreting this to mean that there is currently no
support for lines, polygons, etc? And if so, are there any plans to
add such capabilities?
There is currently only support for geo POINT data in Virtuoso
Commercial Edition.
We have already drawn up some plans to add other types like LINES,
POLYGON etc, but we have not yet had sufficient feedback or commercial
incentive to move it more to the front of our development queue.
However given the right signals from the marketplace we can certainly
re-prioritize this effort.
Best regards,
Patrick
