MapInfo SpatialWare: A Spatial Information Server for RDBMS

Summary: SpatialWare embeds spatial information management directly into IBM DB2, Informix, and Oracle RDBMSs via extenders/DataBlades/server integration. It combines scalable client/server architecture, a robust spatial model, R-tree indexing, and SQL-based spatial querying. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
