Actian Ingres Spatial and Non-Spatial Reader/Writer

Licensing options for this format begin with FME Professional Edition.

Overview

Ingres Spatial is a geometric library built into Ingres Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) since version 10S (10.1) that provides geometry and Spatial Reference System (SRS) handling. The Ingres Spatial reader/writer module enables FME to read geometric Ingres data as well as underlying attribute data stored in Ingres.

The Ingres Spatial reader/writer is specifically designed to handle the geometric and SRS portions of the data. When reading attribute-only tables from Ingres, the Ingres Non-Spatial reader/writer should be used instead. The Ingres Spatial reader/writer uses the Ingres JDBC driver.

This chapter assumes familiarity with Ingres Spatial and Ingres, the attribute and geometry types supported, and its indexing mechanisms.
