PostGIS in Action, Third Editionshows you how to solve real-world geodata problems. You’ll go beyond basic mapping, and explore custom functions for your applications.
Summary
InPostGIS in Action, Third Editionyou will learn:
An introduction to spatial databases
Geometry, geography, raster, and topology spatial types, functions, and queries
Applying PostGIS to real-world problems
Extending PostGIS to web and desktop applications
Querying data from external sources using PostgreSQL Foreign Data Wrappers
Optimizing queries for maximum speed
Simplifying geometries for greater efficiency
PostGIS in Action, Third Editionteaches readers of all levels to write spatial queries for PostgreSQL. You’ll start by exploring vector-, raster-, and topology-based GIS before quickly progressing to analyzing, viewing, and mapping data. This fully updated third edition covers key changes in PostGIS 3.1 and PostgreSQL 13, including parallelization support, partitioned tables, and new JSON functions that help in creating web mapping applications.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the technology
PostGIS is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL. It offers the features and firepower you need to take on nearly any geodata task. PostGIS lets you create location-aware queries with a few lines of SQL code, then build the backend for mapping, raster analysis, or routing application with minimal effort.
