Spatial data management has been an active area o| research during the past two decades, and results of research into spatial data structures and research into mapping spatial data into records in relational databases have found their way into commercial implementations of geographical information systems. However, no commercial database system today directly supports spatial data management, in particular, data definition and query facilities for spatial data. The objective of this paper is to identify a number of key issues that need to be addressed in the near term before we can expect to see a rich support of spatial data management in commercial database systems.
