| dc.description.abstract | Spatial-DBMS is a software module that can work with an underlying database management system and support multiple spatial data models, spatial indexing, and spatial function. Several examples of spatial-DBMS is PostgreSQL, MYSQL, IBM DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, and MonetDB. PostgreSQL as a well-known spatial-DBMS has been widely used all over the world. Meanwhile, MonetDB is still in the phase of system development and has many rooms for improvement. This research compared the two spatial-DBMS in terms of functionality and performance. The results showed that PostgreSQL has more complete spatial function compared to MonetDB. From their performance, it was found that MonetDB is better than PostgreSQL in handling simple non-spatial queries. As for the simple and complex spatial queries, PostgreSQL has shown better performance compared to MonetDB. | en |
