Optimizing Spatial Databases

This paper describes the best way to improve the optimization of spatial databases: throughspatial indexes. The most commune and utilized spatial indexes are R-tree and Quadtree andthey are presented, analyzed and compared in this paper. Also there are given a few examplesof queries that run in Oracle Spatial and are being supported by an R-tree spatial index. Spatialdatabases offer special features that can be very helpful when needing to represent suchdata. But in terms of storage and time costs, spatial data can require a lot of resources. Thisis why optimizing the database is one of the most important aspects when working with largevolumes of data
