Best Spatial Databases in 2026
Updated
Spatial databases are used to store and query data that carries geometric or geographic structure. Compared on spatial data types, 3D geometry support and raster support, the entries offer criteria for matching database capabilities to the data you handle. Coordinate transforms and query interface help frame how spatial information is represented and accessed, while deployment model can inform how a database fits your environment. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing add cost context. MySQL, RavenDB and Teradata VantageCloud are among the options shown, alongside CockroachDB Cloud and CrateDB. Weigh these listed capabilities against the forms of spatial data and operating setup your work requires.
