Oracle Spatial, an option for Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition, includes advanced spatial capabilities to support GIS applications, location-based services, and enterprise spatial information systems. Now, LizardTech's new Spatial Express extends the functionality of Oracle Spatial even further by making it possible to efficiently store images that are hundreds of gigabytes in size from within an Oracle database, solving problems with storage requirements for massive geospatial image libraries facing the public sector, defense, logistics, energy exploration, business geographics, and life sciences domains today.
Optimize your investment in your Oracle Spatial database by storing your raster imagery natively in MrSID and JPEG 2000 formats. With LizardTech's Spatial Express application, you can dramatically reduce the storage space used for your raster imagery by up to 95 percent while retaining visually lossless image quality. In addition, you can now select an Oracle database and table for output directly from within the GeoExpress GUI and decrease your bandwidth and disk space requirements by storing imagery as efficient wavelets rather than raw pixels. Thanks to LizardTech's industry-standard MrSID geospatial image compression format and the ISO standard JPEG 2000 format, you can store, manage, and access images that are hundreds of gigabytes in size more efficiently from within your Oracle database.
