Spatial data analysis enhancements

Db2 support for geospatial data types now includes Spatial Analytics. These new features provide users with the ability to perform spatial analysis on spatial data in column-organized tables, as well as row-organized tables. Spatial Analytics uses filtering based on geometry properties to speed up query performance.

Note: The Spatial Analytics component of Db2 11.5 is available as a technical preview only. Use the Spatial Analytics functions only for tests that use small workloads on non-production systems.

For details, and a comparison with other spatial features, see topics within Analyzing spatial data.
