Keeping Standards up-to-date
Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and
new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves
they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which
may have been published since the Standard was purchased.
Detailed information about Standards can be found by visiting the Standards Web
Shop at www.standards.com.au and looking up the relevant Standard in the on-line
catalogue.
Alternatively, the printed Catalogue provides information current at 1 January each
year, and the monthly magazine, The Global Standard, has a full listing of revisions
and amendments published each month.
Australian StandardsTM and other products and services developed by Standards
Australia are published and distributed under contract by SAI Global, which
operates the Standards Web Shop.
We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially
encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or
ambiguities. Contact us via email at [email protected], or write to the Chief
Executive, Standards Australia, GPO Box 5420, Sydney, NSW 2001.
This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 05116.

PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee IT-027, Data Management &
Interchange.
This Standard is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO/IEC 13249-3:2003,
Information technology—Database languages—SQL multimedia and application packages—
Part 3: Spatial.
The objective of this Standard is to define spatial data types and their associated routines for use
in SQL databases by software developers.
This Standard is Part 3 of AS 3249, Information technology—Database languages—SQL
multimedia and application packages, which is published in parts as follows:
Part 1: Framework
Part 2: Full-Text
Part 3: Spatial (this Standard)

Part 5: Still image
Part 6: Data mining
As this Standard is reproduced from an international standard, the following applies:
(a) Its number appears on the cover and title page while the international standard number
appears only on the cover.
(b) In the source text ‘this part of ISO/IEC 13249’ should read ‘this Australian Standard’.
(c) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.
References to International Standards should be replaced by references to Australian or
Australian/New Zealand Standards, as follows:

INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The purpose of this International Standard is to define multimedia and application specific types and their
associated routines using the user-defined features in ISO/IEC 9075.
This document is based on the content of ISO/IEC International Standard Database Language (SQL).
The organization of this part of ISO/IEC 13249 is as follows:
1) Clause 1, "Scope", specifies the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 13249.
2) Clause 2, "Normative references", identifies additional standards that, through reference in this part of
ISO/IEC 13249, constitute provisions of this part of ISO/IEC 13249.
3) Clause 3, "Definitions, notations, and conventions", defines the notations and conventions used in
this part of ISO/IEC 13249.
This is a free 13 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.
4) Clause 4, "Concepts", presents concepts used in the definition of this part of ISO/IEC 13249.
5) Clause 5, "Geometry Types", defines the geometry supertype.
6) Clause 6, "Point Types", defines primitive 0-dimensional geometry types.
7) Clause 7, "Curve Types", defines primitive 1-dimensional geometry types.
8) Clause 8, "Surface Types", defines primitive 2-dimensional geometry types.
9) Clause 9, "Geometry Collection Types", defines the geometry collection types.
10) Clause 10, "Spatial Reference System Types", defines the user-defined type to manage spatial
reference systems.
11) Clause 11, "Angle and Direction Types", defines the angles and direction types.
12) Clause 12, "Support Routines", defines supporting functions and procedures used by this part of
ISO/IEC 13249.
13) Clause 13, "SQL/MM Spatial Information Schema" defines the SQL/MM Spatial Information Schema.
14) Clause 14, "SQL/MM Spatial Definition Schema" defines the SQL/MM Spatial Definition Schema.
15) Clause 15, "Status Codes", defines the SQLSTATE codes used in this part of ISO/IEC 13249.
16) Clause 16, "Conformance", defines the criteria for conformance to this part of ISO/IEC 13249.
17) Annex A, "Implementation-defined elements", is an informative Annex. It lists those features for which
the body of this part of ISO/IEC 13249 states that the syntax or meaning or effect on the database is
partly or wholly implementation-defined, and describes the defining information that an implementer
shall provide in each case.
18) Annex B, "Implementation-dependent elements", is an informative Annex. It lists those features for
which the body of this part of ISO/IEC 13249 states explicitly that the meaning or effect on the
database is implementation-dependent.
19) Annex C, “Incompatibilities with ISO/IEC 13249-3:1999”, is an informative Annex. It lists
incompatibilities with the previous version of this part of ISO/IEC 13249-3.
20) Annex D, "Geometry Type Hierarchy", is an informative Annex. It visually describes the inheritance
relationship between user-defined types in this part of ISO/IEC 13249.
21) Bibliography is the last informative Annex. It is a list of selective reading relating to this part of
ISO/IEC 13249.
In the text of this part of ISO/IEC 13249, Clauses begin a new odd-numbered page, and in Clause 5,
"Geometry Types", through Clause 11, "Angle and Direction Types", subclauses begin a new page. Any
resulting blank space is not significant.

Part 3: Spatial
1 Scope
This part of ISO/IEC 13249:
a) introduces the Spatial part of ISO/IEC 13249,
b) gives the references necessary for this part of ISO/IEC 13249,
This is a free 13 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.
c) defines notations and conventions specific to this part of ISO/IEC 13249,
d) defines concepts specific to this part of ISO/IEC 13249,
e) defines spatial user-defined types and their associated routines.
The spatial user-defined types defined in this part adhere to the following:
— A spatial user-defined type is generic to spatial data handling. It addresses the need to store, manage
and retrieve information based on aspects of spatial data such as geometry, location, and topology.
— A spatial user-defined type does not redefine the database language SQL directly or in combination
with another spatial data type.
Implementations of this part of ISO/IEC 13249 may exist in environments that also support geographic
information, decision support, data mining, and data warehousing systems.
Application areas addressed by implementations of this part of ISO/IEC 13249 include, but are not
restricted to, automated mapping, desktop mapping, facilities management, geoengineering, graphics,
multimedia, and resource management applications.
