SedonaDB

SedonaDB is a single-node analytical database engine with geospatial as the first-class citizen.

Fast and dependency-free, SedonaDB is ideal for working with smaller datasets located on local machines or cloud instances.

The initial 0.1 release supports a core set of vector operations, with comprehensive vector and raster computation capabilities planned for the near future.

For distributed workloads, you can still leverage the power of SedonaSpark, SedonaFlink, or SedonaSnow.

Key features

SedonaDB has several advantages:

  • Exceptional Performance: Built in Rust to process massive geospatial datasets with exceptional speed.
  • Unified Geospatial Toolkit: Access a comprehensive suite of functions for both vector and raster data in a single, powerful library.
  • Extensive Ecosystem Integration: Built on Apache Arrow for smooth interoperability with popular data science libraries like GeoPandas, DuckDB, and Polars.
  • Flexible APIs: Effortlessly switch between Python and SQL interfaces to match your preferred workflow and skill set.
  • Guaranteed CRS Propagation: Automatically manages coordinate reference systems (CRS) to ensure spatial accuracy and prevent common errors.
  • Broad File Format Support: Work with a wide range of both modern and legacy geospatial file formats like geoparquet.
  • Highly Extensible: Easily customize and extend the library's functionality to meet your project's unique requirements.

Install SedonaDB

Here's how to install SedonaDB with various build tools:

pip install "apache-sedona[db]"

install.packages("sedonadb", repos = "https://community.r-multiverse.org")

Run a query in SQL, Python, Rust, or R

SedonaDB offers a flexible query interface.

SELECT ST_Point(0, 1) as geom

import sedona.db

sd = sedona.db.connect()
sd.sql("SELECT ST_Point(0, 1) as geom")

use datafusion::prelude::*
use sedona::context{SedonaContext, SedonaDataFrame};

let ctx = SedonaContext::new_local_interactive().await?;
    let batches = ctx
        .sql("SELECT ST_Point(0, 1) as geom")
        .await?
        .show_sedona(&cts, None, Default::default())
        .await?;

library(sedonadb)

    sd_sql("SELECT ST_Point(0, 1) as geom")
