The term geodatabase is also a bit proprietary - having been used by ESRI to describe a database that includes (sometimes discipline specific) spatial objects and operators for those objects. Spatial database is more general term and is probably correct for this article. |

Spatial Database is a more general term than Geo-database and should be retained. Historically, there is a debate between the adjectives "Geo" and "Spatial". However recent trend prefers "Spatial". For example, NSF chose the adjective "Spatial" in renaming the "Geography and Regional Sciences" program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.101.34.46 (talk) 22:37, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree. A spatial database is not proprietary, but is a distinct type of spatial data tool. A geodatabase is primarily an ESRI product, and does not have the same query ability, or complex tabular management that may be found in a spatially enabled database. These topics should be seperate.

I'm not sure the "Spatial Databox" product entry applies to this article. I have visited the linked page and it looks more like a web server to me, but I don't know the product, so I can not be sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.12.16.53 (talk) 09:57, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
