SpatiaLite Description

SpatiaLite is a library for geographic information systems (GIS) that implements the core OpenGIS specification. SpatiaLite is a library for geographic information systems (GIS) which implements the core OpenGIS specification. It provides SQLite with basic support for spatial data is intended for lightweight GIS projects.SQLite is a popular DBMS, simple, robust, easy to use and really lightweight. Each SQLite database is simply a file; you can freely copy it, compress it, send it on a LAN or WEB with no complication at all. They are also portables; the same database file will work on Windows, Linux, MacOs etc.The SpatiaLite extension enables SQLite to support spatial data too , in a way conformant to OpenGis specifications:- supports standard WKT and WKB formats- implements SQL spatial functions such as AsText(), GeomFromText(), Area(), PointN() and alikeNot all OpenGis functions are supported, but the main core is available- supports importing and exporting from / to shapefiles- supports coordinate reprojection via PROJ.4 and EPSG geodetic parameters datasetThe VirtualShape extension enables SQLite to access shapefiles as VIRTUAL TABLEs:- you can then perform standard SQL queries on external shapefiles, with no need for importing or converting them* both SpatiaLite and VirtualShape are distributed in the form of shared libraries - integration with standard sqlite3 front end is allowed via .load 'extension' or SELECT load_extension('extension') mechanism- old versions of sqlite3 didn't support extensions; some up to date distribution disables them for security reasons- so, if you wish, you can alternatively use SQLiteGeo, a derivative sqlite3 3.5.7 slightly modified in order to automatically load both SpatiaLite and VirtualShapeWhat's New in This Release:· This release adds complete rearchitecturing and refactoring of the code base, switches to the GNU Automake build system, integrates GEOS, adds complete spatial analysis, verifies OpenGIS compliance, and adds standard Spatial MetaData and Spatial Index via RTrees.
