Olivier Courtin from Oslandia talks about the new features and functionalities coming to PostGIS 2.0 .
The presentation is part of the Geomatics Open Guest Lectures series at TU Delft.
6. PostGIS : Commiters and Companies
Keybit
LisaSoft
OpenGeo
Oslandia
CadCorp
Paragon Corporation
Refractions Research
Sirius
7. PostGIS : Project Robustness
Keybit
LisaSoft
OpenGeo
Oslandia
So even if a company behind PostGIS (or 2 or 3)
have to stop or disappear: PostGIS will go on.

22. 1.4: ST_Union Performance Improve
SELECT ST_Union(the_geom) from province;
Version 1.3: 10865 ms
Version 1.4: 2391 ms
23. 1.5: Distance Function Performance
Clear performance
improvement
Distance results should
be kept slightly the same
New related functions:
ST_ClosestPoint
ST_DFullyWithin
...
24. 1.5: Import GML and KML
Result: SRID=27582;POINT(600400 2428686)
25. 1.5: Geography
GEOGRAPHY type (SRID 4326)
Spatial index support
About 20 Basics spatial functions
supported (on Geocentric datas)
Cast from/to GEOMETRY
28. 2.0: Topology
Aim is to add a true topological model (faces, nodes, edges)
upon spaghettis geometries.
Already described in ISO SQL/MM.
For now PostGIS Topology functions mainly focus on:
•Creation
•Management
•Accessor
•GML output
Common uses cases:
•Networks and graphs
•Choropleth
•...
33. 2.0: PostGIS Raster
SELECT A.rid, g.gid ,
ST_Intersects(A.rast, g.geom) As inter
FROM a_rast AS A
CROSS JOIN
(VALUES (1, 'POINT(34.24, 57.85)'::geometry) ,
(2, 'LINESTRING(34.85 57.75,34.8
57.85)'::geometry)
) AS g(gid,geom)
WHERE A.rid = 2 ;
