You’ll go beyond basic mapping, and explore custom functions for your applications.\n\nSummary\nIn PostGIS in Action, Third Edition you will learn:\n\nAn introduction to spatial databases\nGeometry, geography, raster, and topology spatial types, functions, and queries\nApplying PostGIS to real-world problems\nExtending PostGIS to web and desktop applications\nQuerying data from external sources using PostgreSQL Foreign Data Wrappers\nOptimizing queries for maximum speed\nSimplifying geometries for greater efficiency\n\nPostGIS in Action, Third Edition teaches 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.\n\nAbout the technology\nPostGIS 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.\n\nAbout the book\nPostGIS in Action, Third Edition shows you how to solve real-world geodata problems.
