Geospatial Insights With Databricks SQL: Techniques and Applications

Spatial data is increasingly important, but working with it can be complex. In this session, we’ll explore how Databricks SQL supports spatial analysis and helps analysts and engineers get more value from location-based data. We’ll cover what’s coming in the Public Preview of Spatial SQL, when and how to use the new Geometry and Geography data types, and practical use cases for H3. You’ll also learn about common challenges with spatial data and how we're addressing them, along with a look at the near-term roadmap and upcoming partner integrations.
