Bienvenue sur PostGIS.fr , le site de la communauté des utilisateurs francophones de PostGIS.

PostGIS ajoute le support d'objets géographique à la base de données PostgreSQL. En effet, PostGIS "spatialise" le serverur PostgreSQL, ce qui permet de l'utiliser comme une base de données SIG.

Maintenu à jour, en fonction de nos disponibilités et des diverses sorties des outils que nous testons, nous vous proposons l'ensemble de nos travaux publiés en langue française.

Section 9: Geometry Exercises

Here's a reminder of all the functions we have seen so far. They should be useful for the exercises!

Also remember the tables we have available:

  • nyc_census_blocks
    • name, popn_total, boroname, the_geom
  • nyc_streets
    • name, type, the_geom
  • nyc_subway_stations
    • name, the_geom
  • nyc_neighborhoods
    • name, boroname, the_geom

Exercises

  • "What is the area of the 'West Village' neighborhood?"

    SELECT ST_Area(the_geom)
  FROM nyc_neighborhoods
  WHERE name = 'West Village';

    1044614.53027344

    Note

    The area is given in square meters. To get an area in hectares, divide by 10000. To get an area in acres, divide by 4047.

  • "What is the area of Manhattan in acres?" (Hint: both nyc_census_blocks and nyc_neighborhoods have a boroname in them.)

    SELECT Sum(ST_Area(the_geom)) / 4047
  FROM nyc_neighborhoods
  WHERE boroname = 'Manhattan';

    13965.3201224118

    or...

    SELECT Sum(ST_Area(the_geom)) / 4047
  FROM nyc_census_blocks
  WHERE boroname = 'Manhattan';

    14572.1575543757

  • "How many census blocks in New York City have a hole in them?"

    SELECT Count(*)
  FROM nyc_census_blocks
  WHERE ST_NRings(the_geom) > 1;

    66

  • "What is the total length of streets (in kilometers) in New York City?" (Hint: The units of measurement of the spatial data are meters, there are 1000 meters in a kilometer.)

    SELECT Sum(ST_Length(the_geom)) / 1000
  FROM nyc_streets;

    10418.9047172

  • "How long is 'Columbus Cir' (Columbus Circle)?

    SELECT ST_Length(the_geom)
  FROM nyc_streets
  WHERE name = 'Columbus Cir';

    308.34199

  • "What is the JSON representation of the boundary of the 'West Village'?"

    SELECT ST_AsGeoJSON(the_geom)
  FROM nyc_neighborhoods
  WHERE name = 'West Village';

    {"type":"MultiPolygon","coordinates":
 [[[[583263.2776595836,4509242.6260239873],
    [583276.81990686338,4509378.825446927], ...
    [583263.2776595836,4509242.6260239873]]]]}

The geometry type is "MultiPolygon", interesting!

  • "How many polygons are in the 'West Village' multipolygon?"

    SELECT ST_NumGeometries(the_geom)
  FROM nyc_neighborhoods
  WHERE name = 'West Village';

    1

    Note

    It is not uncommon to find single-element MultiPolygons in spatial tables. Using MultiPolygons allows a table with only one geometry type to store both single- and multi-geometries without using mixed types.

  • "What is the length of streets in New York City, summarized by type?"

    SELECT type, Sum(ST_Length(the_geom)) AS length
 FROM nyc_streets
 GROUP BY type
 ORDER BY length DESC;

    Note

    The ORDER BY length DESC clause sorts the result by length in descending order. The result is that most prevalent types are first in the list.
