• ¿Cómo crear una base de datos con la extensión espacial?

• ¿Cómo crear una tabla con Geometrías?

• ¿Cómo dar de alta los metadatos de la tabla?

• ¿Cómo crear un índice espacial?

• ¿Qué operaciones se pueden realizar con las geometrías?

Crear una base de datos con extensión espacial

• Si la base de datos es nueva:

– Lo ideal es realizarlo con el asistente de instalación de la base de datos

– Crea o añade, esta funcionalidad a una base de datos

• Si en la base de datos ya existe el template

– Crear la nueva base de datos indicando el template

¿Cómo saber si la base de datos es PostGIS?

• En el esquema public se habrán generado dos tablas:

• En el mismo esquema se dispondrá de un buen número de funciones

Crear una tabla con geometrías

• Usa la misma Clausura que para el resto de tablas: CREATE TABLE …();

• La columna que contendrá la geometría será de tipo: GEOMETRY

• Ejemplo:CREATE TABLE cola_markets (

mkt_id double precision NOT NULL,

name character varying( 32),

shape geometry);

Crear metadatos geometrías

• Existe la tabla geometry_columns en la que se registran las tablas que contienen alguna columna de tipo geometry

• Esta tabla contiene las siguientes columnas:

– F_TABLE_CATALOG, F_TABLE_SCHEMA, F_TABLE_NAME, F_GOMETRY_COLUM, COORD_DIMENSION, SRID, TYPE

Crear metadatos

INSERT INTO geometry_columns VALUES (

‘any’,

‘public ..’,

'cola_markets',

'shape',

2,

4326,

‘MULTIPOLYGON’);

AddGeometryColumn

• Existe la función AddGeometryColumn que realiza simultáneamente el alta del atributo en la tabla y crea los metadatosAddGeometryColumn(<schema_name>,<table_name>,<column_name>,<srid>,<type>,<dimension>)

• SELECT AddGeometryColumn(’public’, ’roads_geom’, ’geom’, 423, ’LINESTRING’, 2)

Crear índices espaciales

• Para crear índices SQL proporciona la siguiente clausura:

– CREATE INDEX nombre ON la_tabla USINGgist(la_columna);

• Ejemplo:

CREATE INDEX constru_the_geom_gist

ON public.constru

USING gist (the_geom);

Operaciones con las geometrías

• PostGIS clasifica las operaciones en los siguientes paquetes:– Management Functions– Geometry Constructors– Geometry Accessors– Geometry Editors– Geometry Outputs– Operators– Spatial Relationships and Measurements– Geometry Processing Functions– Linear Referencing– Long Transactions Support– Miscellaneous Functions– Exceptional Functions

Linear Referencing

ST_Line_Interpolate_Point - Returns a point interpolated along a line. Second argument is a float8 between 0 and 1 representing of total length of linestring the point has to be located.

ST_Line_Locate_Point - Returns a float between 0 and 1 representing the location of the closest point on LineString to the given Point, as a fraction of total 2d line length.

ST_Line_Substring - Return a linestring being a substring of the input one starting and ending at the given fractions of total 2d length. Second and third arguments are float8 values between 0 and 1.

ST_Locate_Along_Measure - Return a derived geometry collection value with elements that match the specified measure. Polygonal elements are not supported.

ST_Locate_Between_Measures - Return a derived geometry collection value with elements that match the specified range of measures inclusively. Polygonal elements are not supported.

ST_LocateBetweenElevations - Return a derived geometry (collection) value with elements that intersect the specified range of elevations inclusively. Only 3D, 4D LINESTRINGS and MULTILINESTRINGS are supported.

ST_AddMeasure - Return a derived geometry with measure elements linearly interpolated between the start and end points. If the geometry has no measure dimension, one is added. If the geometry has a measure dimension, it is over-written with new values. Only LINESTRINGS and MULTILINESTRINGS are supported.

Long Transactions

AddAuth - Add an authorization token to be used in current transaction.

CheckAuth - Creates trigger on a table to prevent/allow updates and deletes of rows based on authorization token.

DisableLongTransactions - Disable long transaction support. This function removes the long transaction support metadata tables, and drops all triggers attached to lock-checked tables.

EnableLongTransactions - Enable long transaction support. This function creates the required metadata tables, needs to be called once before using the other functions in this section. Calling it twice is harmless.

LockRow - Set lock/authorization for specific row in tableUnlockRows - Remove all locks held by specified authorization id.

Returns the number of locks released.

geometry. Uses double-precisionST_Extent - an aggregate function that returns the bounding box that bounds rows of geometries.ST_Extent3D - an aggregate function that returns the box3D bounding box that bounds rows of

geometries.Find_SRID - Function returns the integer SRID of the specified column by searching through the

GEOMETRY_COLUMNS table.ST_Mem_Size - Returns the amount of space (in bytes) the geometry takes.ST_Point_Inside_Circle - Is the point geometry insert circle defined by center_x, center_y , radiusST_XMax - Returns X maxima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.ST_XMin - Returns X minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.ST_YMax - Returns Y maxima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.ST_YMin - Returns Y minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.ST_ZMax - Returns Z minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.ST_ZMin - Returns Z minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
