MySQL and GIS
April 20th, 2005 | Published in Car Tools, Mapping
Caught a session this afternoon on MySQL’s spatial extension. An Irishman used GIS data and MySQL to create an atlas of Ireland (viewing it requires Adobe’s SVG plugin). Apparently ESRI hasn’t written an SDE for MySQL because it didn’t support stored procedures. But with version 5.0, that’s changed, so perhaps we’ll see an ESRI interface with MySQL in the near future.
