Integrating your database with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) requires a common key between the database records and features in your GIS records. As for the actual implementation, I'd need more information to assist. I'll give a few scenarios though.

If you want to bring up a parcel owner's information stored in a tax database, you will likely need to store that "tax id" value in the database and the GIS record. Your application (ArcMAP, AutoDesk Map, Integraph GeoMedia, or some custom application) would need to connect to the database using a supported connection for your database. Often this will be JDBC or ODBC but proprietary options exist too.

You could also look at using midleware applications like ESRI's ArcSDE to store your GIS data directly in the database. If you are using Oracle, the database natively would support GIS storage in the MDSYS schema.

Without knowing more about your specific situation, it will be impossible to answer you properly.

GIS is a very general term. Is there a specific GIS product that should use your database? If your database contains geographic data, such as latitude, longitude, and elevation, then there is probably a way to do this.
