Spatial Query

A spatial query is a type of search used in databases to find geographic or location-based information. It asks questions like “Which restaurants are within 5 miles of me?” or “Are there parks inside this neighborhood?” These queries help analyze and retrieve data involving positions and spaces on maps, enabling applications like GPS navigation, city planning, and location-based services to function efficiently and accurately. Essentially, spatial queries help us understand and work with the physical locations and their relationships on a map.
