Using Geospatial Data Types

Teradata Vantage™ - Geospatial Data Types describes tools and database objects (including data types, functions, and methods) that provide an interface between Teradata Vantage™ and applications that manage, analyze, and display geographic information.

Why Would I Use this Content?

Use this content if you want to do the following:
  • Store and manage geospatial data in Analytics Database.
  • Manipulate and analyze geospatial data, such as test for spatial relationships between two geospatial values.
  • Create and manipulate geometric shapes in the database.
  • Use visualization tools to display geospatial data.

How Do I Use this Content?

Look up which geospatial type represents the geospatial data that you have and what operations you can perform on your data using the available methods and functions.

How Do I Get Started?

  1. Get familiar with the geospatial types that are supported. See Geometry Types, Minimum Bounding Types and Methods, and ST_Geometry Type.
  2. Get familiar with the methods and functions you can use to perform the operations you want on your geospatial data.
