o Spatial databases
Introduction to GIS ecosystem, consisting of GIS clients and databases
Database 'tooling
Notes on the set-up of PostGIS
Connection of PostGIS and GIS client
Presentation of the demo databases that will accompany the course throughout the semester
- Working in PostGIS
o Spatial data types and indices
Geometry, Geography, Raster and Topology
Types and uses of spatial indices: GIST, BRIN and SP-GIST
o Spatial Functions: Core
Creation of spatial database objects in the database
Transfer to another reference system
Measurement functions
Decomposition and simplification functions
o Spatial functions: Topological
Creation and use of enveloping boxes (bounding boxes)
Difference spatial and geometric equality
Relations (intersection, overlap, within, etc.)
Spatial links
Special functions: Difference and division
- Connection to GIS client (ArcPro and QGIS)
o Setting up the connections
o Control of the effects in the client, with change in the data base
o Explaining the advantages and disadvantages between GIS client and working in the databaseMethods
At the beginning of each unit, the students learn the basics of the respective topic in interactive lessons. Afterwards, the practical application of the newly learned knowledge with special software begins.Targets
Students are familiar with the basics of geodatabases and know the current methods and procedures for data storage and management of spatial data. They are able to design geodatabases and to use the data they contain as information with different software applications.
