| Summary : User-space spatial add-on for Derby and H2 databases
|
Description :
\'user-space add-on\' what does that mean? It means that
HatBox employs user visible tables, procedures, functions
and triggers to implement spatial functionality on top of
standard Derby/JavaDB and H2. The upside is that when you
use HatBox you are not tied to a special version of Derby
or H2, you can upgrade Derby and H2 independently of
HatBox. The down side is that feature geometry must be
created and manipulated outside the database and the
tables, procedures, functions and triggers that make up
HatBox may be corrupted by inadvertent user action. This
approach was taken to avoid deep modification of the Derby
and H2 code bases, and to avoid sticky source licensing
issues, particularly in respect of the JTS Topology Suite.
JTS is a critical library for Hatbox, supplying all the
secondary filtering functionality. It is licensed under
the LGPL, which is incompatible with the licences of
Apache Derby (ASL 2.0) and H2 (MPL 1.1 and EPL 1.0)
