[postgis-users] Compare SQL Server 2008 Spatial, PostGIS, MySQLfunctionality

[Obe, Regina]

Does IBM package charge additional for their geodetic support.  Sounds
like its another engine you purchase separately.

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/spatial/

I assume its integrated in Oracle if you get Oracle Spatial (which
presumes you are running Oracle Enterprise) since I don't see any
mention of it being separate aside from its only existed since Oracle
9i.  I presume they don't include it in their Oracle Locator offering.
Is that correct?

Another interesting evaluation axis might be support for true geodetic 
(geographic) data.   I believe that only SQLServer has this  (along with

Oracle and IBM,of course)
