This article describes a framework designed to be used as a platform for experiments of distributed spatial databases in a computer grid. The environment consists of an open database modified to send and receive jobs to others databases using a grid middleware and its services. With this framework resources can be discovered and monitored, for example, to help in the process of constructing a query plan in a distributed environment. A case study based in a geographic database is being used to validate the framework.
