If you love Structure Query Language (SQL), then you'll love Spatial SQL. What is Spatial SQL? It's SQL with an extra spatial sauce. Pretty much any database that speaks SQL, can speak Spatial SQL as well.


If you love Structured Query Language (SQL), then you'll love Spatial SQL. What is Spatial SQL? it's SQL with an extra spatial sauce. Pretty much any database that speaks SQL, speaks Spatial SQL as well. Most of these databases speak Spatial SQL that is a subset or superset of the ISO SQL Multi-Media Standard Part 3 (SQL/MM Spatial). Whether you are new to SQL or a long time lover, come join us as we discuss how you can avoid writing 1000s of lines of code, with just one Spatial SQL statement and how you can use similar Spatial SQL statements in countless FOSS4G tools - PostgreSQL (with PostGIS, pgRouting and other spatial extensions), Apache Sedona, DuckDB, and more.
