Abstract
The relevance of the article lies in the description of mechanisms and tools for working with spatial data in the process of solving problem of location and planning. The main purpose of the research is to detail such aspects of solving spatial location problems as coordinate systems, geographic coordinates and their representations, hierarchical indexing systems, and spatial DBMS. The article defines the concepts of a coordinate system, a geographic coordinate system, geographic coordinates, longitude, latitude, geometric objects (point, multipoint, lines, multiline, polygon, multipolygon), as well as how they are related to each other. The difference between global and regional geodetic coordinate systems is shown. The three most popular hierarchical index systems are analyzed: Geohash, S2, H3, their characteristics are formed and weaknesses are identified. The concept of a database management system is outlined, the main categories of DBMSs are highlighted based on their specifics and the range of problems they solve. The most popular tools in the field of spatial database management systems are described: PostgreSQL and PostGIS, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database and Oracle Spatial, MySQL. The result of the research is the formation of a general overview and a description of the specific theoretical aspects necessary for interacting with spatial data in the process of solving location and planning problems.
