Oracle Spatial is an option of the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. Its core component is a new datatype called SDO_GEOMETRY that is used to store geometric figures (points, lines and polygons) defined by one or more coordinates.
This allows you to create "spatial" tables, i.e. tables that contain any number of regular columns and one column of type SDO_GEOMETRY (or even multiple such columns).
You can then query those tables using spatial predicates (like CONTAINS, TOUCHES, INSIDE, WITHIN_DISTANCE etc). Things like "get me the land parcels of a certain type that are on the path of this pipeline", or "get the list of customers that live within 10km of a store".
Databases that use Oracle Spatial are commonly used by commercial or open source GIS tools to store and manage their spatial data.
Advanced capabilities include the storage of raster data (imagery), network searches, geocoding, routing, topology etc.
