Cesium supports GeoJSON so you could get the geometry from the database as GeoJSON.

Cesium supports most common imagery/raster formats and popular vector data like KML and GeoJSON. This Cesium Workshop tutorial is a comprehensive guide on most of these things:

> **[Documentation | cesium.com](https://cesium.com/docs/)**
>
> Cesium is geospatial. Use Cesium ion's simple workflow to create 3D maps of your geospatial data for visualization, analysis, and sharing. For developers, use the open-source CesiumJS library to create custom 3D mapping apps.

You can scroll through it or CTRL+F to find things like “imagery” or “vector” and how to add it in.
