Does dashDB supports spatial objects?

I need to know if DashDB supports "spatial objects" and "spatial queries" (i.e. can we store in DashDB points, or areas, or polygons and query those "objects"?). I know that for PostgreSQL, for example, this is supported by installing an add-on called PostGIS. But what about DashDB?

Yes it does. dashDB's spatial data and indexing support comes from DB2, so it's actually very mature although dashDB is a relatively new product. See more here: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS6NHC/com.ibm.swg.im.dashdb.doc/learn_how/loaddata_gsdata.html

Search the web for dashdb plus geospatial and you'll find plenty of information.
