====== Spatial Database Management System (SDBMS) ======


A SDBMS denotes an information architecture in which stored geometric information such as [[english:glossary:point|points]], [[english:glossary:polyline|polylines]], [[english:glossary:polygon|polygons]] or [[english:glossary:rastermode|raster grids]] are managed as internal objects in a [[english:glossary:rdbms|Relational DBMS]], in addition to attribute data. Thus, SDBMS benefit from all the functions of RDBMS (identification, transaction, backup, versioning).
