With the release of Oracle Database 23ai, Oracle Spatial introduced several new features that are especially interesting for developers. Two examples are:

• Vector tiles, vector data packaged split into squared tiles, and
• H3, a global grid indexing system and library.

Both are very popular techniques for maps in web and mobile applications. You can now create vector tiles and H3 indexes directly in the database and stream the results to your web applications.

Vector tiles provide fast performance, smooth map interactions, and dynamic map queries. They are the industry’s preferred method for scalable delivery of spatial data to mapping client applications.

Hexagonal hierarchical spatial indexing (H3) is a spatial data structure that efficiently visualizes and analyses large amounts of dense point data.

Join us for this new session and learn about using these and also other new features you can use while developing or modernizing your web applications.
