Spatial Database is a more general term than Geo-database and should be retained. Historically, there is a debate between the adjectives "Geo" and "Spatial". However recent trend prefers "Spatial". For example, NSF chose the adjective "Spatial" in renaming the "Geography and Regional Sciences" program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.101.34.46 (talk) 22:37, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. A spatial database is not proprietary, but is a distinct type of spatial data tool. A geodatabase is primarily an ESRI product, and does not have the same query ability, or complex tabular management that may be found in a spatially enabled database. These topics should be seperate.
