Other available spatial SQL commands

The number of spatial SQL commands available within a MapD Core database is growing all the time. These include:

  • ST_Transform (for coordinate system transformations)
  • ST_Distance (for distance analyses)
  • ST_Point (to generate point objects)
  • ST_XMin, ST_XMax, ST_YMin, ST_YMax (for bounding box access)

More functionality is being added every day and will reach spatial SQL feature parity with PostGIS and other spatial databases later this year. With these SQL commands, and the unique front-end dashboard publication tool MapD Immerse, MapD is a powerful new option for geodatabase deployment.
