That is a great question.

I tried to import a sub set of the OpenStreetMap planet file (just germany) which is about 2 GB (bz2 compressed) in size into a basex database.
Unfortunately, after 5% or the like, and this took almost over an hour (I am using an i7/4GB machine, I aborted the procedure.
I am sure with spatial data types support, this procedure can be simplified/optimized a lot...
Having said this, I would be interested in using basex as a backend for GIS data, too :-)

Hi,

 

Our company evaluates BaseX for our project.

A new requirement is to show spatial data with a geographic information system.

Are there any plans for a spatial xquery module for querying GML like the (experimental) module in eXist?
