Sunil Pratap Singh, Preetvanti Singh · International Journal of Database Management Systems · 2014
The geo-spatial database is a new technology in database systems which allow storing, retrieving and maintaining the spatial data.In this paper, we seek to design and implement a geo-spatial database for managing the traveler's demand with the aid of open-source tools and object-relational database package.The building of geo-spatial database starts with the design of data model in terms of conceptual, logical and physical data model and then the design has been implemented into an object-relational database.The geo-spatial database is developed to facilitate the storage of geographic information (where things are) with descriptive information (what things are like) into the vector model.The developed vector geo-spatial data can be accessed and rendered in the form of map to create the awareness of existence of various services and facilities for prospective travelers and visitors.
