....query against the spatial database can be efficiently translated into a fixpoint counting query against the topological invariant. This shows that efficient query evaluation for the topological invariants leads to efficient query evaluation for spatial databases. Kuijpers and Van den Bussche [19] show that all topological FO( x) queries over socalled (fully 2D) region databases over can already be expressed in FO( A crucial step in their proof is to represent region databases by finite databases, to which the natural generic collapse of [6] applies, i.e. the collapse from ....

....various applications of spatial databases. For example, in geographical databases, queries like Is region A adjacent to region B , Is there a road from A to B , or Is A an island come up very naturally. Therefore, topological queries have received a lot of attention in the literature (e.g. [KPV97, PSV99, SV98, KV99]) A basic result known about topological queries is that connectivity of a region is not expressible in first order logic [GS99, GS97, BDLW96] Thinking of geographical databases again, planar (or 2dimensional) database instances, where all relations are embedded in the plane R 2 , are of ....
....in the finite case. KPV97] asked whether their results generalize to database instances with a region that is not necessarily closed; we give a negative answer to this question. For instances with one closed region that satisfy the additional technical condition of being fully two dimensional, [KV99] introduced a cone logic CL and proved that it is sound and complete for topological FO. They asked if their results generalize to instances with not necessarily closed regions or several regions, again we give a negative answer. KPV97] introduced two local operations on spatial database ....

In fact, results of [20, 22] show, roughly, that the only purely topological facts of a single region expressible in first order queries are local they merely assert the existence or nonexistence of points with a given topological type.
