Abstract: We consider two-dimensional spatial databases defined in terms of polynomial inequalities and focus on the potential of programming languages for such databases to express queries related to topological connectivity. It is known that the topological connectivity test is not first-order expressible. One approach to obtain a language in which connectivity queries can be expressed would be to extend FO+Poly with a generalized (or Lindstr om) quantifier expressing that two points belong to the same ...

.... is not in FO [10, 11, 2] We showed rather ad hoc, that a cone radius query is rst order expressible for planar spatial databases [7]. The following result extends this to n dimensional semi algebraic spatial databases. Theorem 2. Let A be a semi algebraic set in R n ....
.... for topological connectivity have been handled only through query languages that are both non closed and computationally intractable [23, 12, 13]. In contrast, our rst main result shows that there is a way to add reachability and a vast number of other topological queries...
