Spatial Functions

Spatial functions provide functionality for working with geospatial data. Teiid relies on the JTS Topology Suite to provide partial support for the OpenGIS Simple Features Specification For SQL Revision 1.1. Please refer to the specification or to PostGIS for more details about particular functions.

Most Geometry support is limited to two dimensions due to the WKB and WKT formats.

Note
 Geometry support is still evolving. There may be minor differences between Teiid and pushdown results that will need to be further refined.
