Are "Text" and "Spatial" capabilities significantly different enough to count as different database types? --Indolering (talk) 04:46, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Indolering: Like many other new hype terms, it seems really difficult to pin down a useful criteria for what actually is a "multi-model database" and what isn't. Like https://blogs.the451group.com/information_management/2013/02/08/neither-fish-nor-fowl/ mentions, most classical RDBMSes also qualify as multi-model databases. These days it seems every RDBMS supports document storage (XML or JSON), full-text search, spatial queries and SQL. So perhaps in order to highlight the absurdity of this term, I would say yes, most databases are multi-model databases. -- intgr [talk] 07:28, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
