Filter Geometry by Box

Calculates which geospatial geometry objects from a table intersect a rectangular box. The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all the objects are fully available. The response payload provides the count of the resulting set. A new resultant set which satisfies the input NAI restriction specification is also created when a input parameter view_name is passed in as part of the input payload.

Input Parameter Description

Name Type Description
table_name string Name of the table on which the bounding box operation will be performed, in [schema_name.]table_name format, using standard name resolution rules. Must be an existing table.
view_name string If provided, then this will be the name of the view containing the results, in [schema_name.]view_name format, using standard name resolution rules and meeting table naming criteria. Must not be an already existing table or view. The default value is ''.
column_name string Name of the geospatial geometry column to be filtered.
min_x double Lower bound for the x-coordinate of the rectangular box. Must be less than or equal to input parameter max_x.
max_x double Upper bound for the x-coordinate of the rectangular box. Must be greater than or equal to input parameter min_x.
min_y double Lower bound for the y-coordinate of the rectangular box. Must be less than or equal to input parameter max_y.
max_y double Upper bound for the y-coordinate of the rectangular box. Must be greater than or equal to input parameter min_y.
options map of string to strings

Optional parameters. The default value is an empty map ( {} ).

Supported Parameters (keys) Parameter Description
create_temp_table

If true, a unique temporary table name will be generated in the sys_temp schema and used in place of input parameter view_name. This is always allowed even if the caller does not have permission to create tables. The generated name is returned in qualified_view_name. The default value is false. The supported values are:

  • true
  • false
collection_name [DEPRECATED--please specify the containing schema for the view as part of input parameter view_name and use Create Schema to create the schema if non-existent] Name of a schema for the newly created view. If the schema provided is non-existent, it will be automatically created.

Output Parameter Description

Name Type Description
count long The number of records passing the box filter.
info map of string to strings

Additional information. The default value is an empty map ( {} ).

Possible Parameters (keys) Parameter Description
qualified_view_name The fully qualified name of the view (i.e. including the schema)
