    FYI in standard English it would be “spatial” not “spacial”, for yet another edition of “the English language has lots of silly rules and spellings that don’t always match up”

        I’m a native English speaker and spatial is correct.

        “Spacial” is a misspelling that became oddly popular for some in AR and VR, but it is absolutely a misspelling of spatial.

          I would be considered also a “native” english speaker, and i do not like this dictionary adherant approach to speech, who holds the truth?, it is everhwhere, now you can make an argument that I should use spatial which would have some sense to it, but i am not “wrong”

        spatial data is the representation of objects in some geometric space, think open street map or maybe the location of things in a well mapped warehouse, a spatial database is meant to store stuff like that.

          I was not using it, this was mandated by a university course which i only did at the mandate of immigration pigs because the better one fell through

              I mean that national ideologues enforce conceptions of foreigners who must dance a little dance for 5 or more years, and part of that is “studying”, so when a course i was to do was cancelled i had to choose a chumpy backup

          It is for dealing with 2 and 3d data in a database, so one can create views upon data that are calculated by use of geometric functions for example

            Sounds interesting! So everything we see in these pictures has been calculated from spacial information taken from a “regular” relational database?

              yep so it is all still tables, and they contain abstractions like lines and vectors, its nothing new over a tuple over maybe worsening the generality of general data structures, or improving computational efficiency. Then you get some functions to join it all together into new perspectives This was all done on gnu guix with postgres, postGIS and the visualisation software
