+# Spatial
+
+Oracle Spatial, often referred to as Spatial, is designed to make spatial data management easier and more natural to users of location-enabled applications and geographic information system 
+(GIS) applications. Once spatial data is stored in an Oracle database, it can be easily manipulated, retrieved, and related to all other data stored in the database.
+
+With spatial features included for free with all editions and services of Oracle Database, you can store, manage, process, and analyze all forms of spatial workloads and data sets. You can create maps to visualize and interact with your data. 
+
+You can use the free tool Spatial Studio, to a visualize, explore, and analyze geospatial data stored in and managed by Oracle Spatial. Spatial Studio is a multiuser Java EE application that can be used as a standalone tool (Quick Start) or deployed to WebLogic Server.

 Oracle XML DB and the XMLType abstract data type make Oracle Database XML-aware. Storing XML data as an XMLType column or table lets the database perform XML-specific operations on the content. This includes XML validation and optimization. XMLType storage allows highly efficient processing of XML content in the database. Because there is a broad spectrum of XML usage, there is no one-size-fits-all storage model that offers optimal performance and flexibility for every use case. Oracle XML DB offers different storage models for XMLType, and several indexing methods appropriate to these different storage models. You can tailor performance and functionality to best fit the kind of XML data you have and the ways you use it. Oracle Database Release 23 introduced Transportable Binary XML (TBX) as a storage option, a variant built on top of CSX but without the dependency of a central dictionary.
 Transportable Binary XML is the recommended method for storing XML documents natively in the Oracle Database beginning with Oracle Database 23.
