Spatiotemporal Search solution architecture

The HCL OneDB™ Spatiotemporal Search solution consists of built-in functions.

The HCL OneDB database server includes the following functionality for searching spatiotemporal data:

  • SQL functions to index spatiotemporal data.
  • SQL functions to query spatiotemporal data.
  • SQL functions to remove spatiotemporal indexes.

The spatiotemporal search solution builds upon the data types and routines from the HCL OneDB TimeSeries solution and the data types, routines, and R-tree indexes from the HCL OneDB Spatial solution. The following illustration shows how the Spatiotemporal Search solution and related products interact.

Spatiotemporal searches return location data as spatial data types from the HCL OneDB Spatial extension. You must provide your own visualization software, such as client programs from ESRI.
