Abstract: MOCs, the HEALPix-based Multi-Order Coverage maps, are a powerful tool for representing arbitrary shapes on the sphere with user-selectable fidelity and remarkable compactness. In this contribution, we show how we have extended the Virtual Observatory’s query language ADQL to enable powerful MOC operations in the database. We illustrate the extensions with example queries runnable on the TAP service at http://dc.g-vo.org/tap.
