Re: [udig-devel] Derby database
|
There is a project called "spatial DB in a Box" that practiced embeding
JTS (ie spatial geometryes) into the various open source java databases
including derby.
My understanding is that it was encoded as a String (using WKT?) and
that the various spatial functions could be asked to work against such
strings.
This effort was abandoned by the developer (who being a GIS person could
not live with the limit of a String length (32 k) or the lack of a
spatial index.
More information here:

You are welcome to pick up where they left off.

Hi-
A project that I am involved in is looking at moving to embedding an
Apache Derby database in with our application. I don't understand
Derby or JDBC that well, but I am sure that what we have is not
spatially enabled. Does uDig support connections to regular databases
of this type, or do you think it would be better to have a separate
Geoserver running for the GIS portion of our app?
Thanks-
