/filter/byarea/geometry

URL: https://<aws.fqdn>/<aws.cluster.name>/gpudb-0/filter/byarea/geometry

Calculates which geospatial geometry objects from a table intersect a named area of interest (NAI/polygon). The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all the matching objects are fully available. The response payload provides the count of the resulting set. A new resultant set (view) which satisfies the input NAI restriction specification is created with the name input parameter view_name passed in as part of the input.

Input Parameter Description

NameTypeDescription
table_namestringName of the table to filter, in [schema_name.]table_name format, using standard name resolution rules. This may be the name of a table or a view (when chaining queries).
view_namestringIf 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_namestringName of the geospatial geometry column to be filtered.
x_vectorarray of doublesList of x coordinates of the vertices of the polygon representing the area to be filtered.
y_vectorarray of doublesList of y coordinates of the vertices of the polygon representing the area to be filtered.
optionsmap 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] The schema for the newly created view. If the schema is non-existent, it will be automatically created.

Output Parameter Description

The GPUdb server embeds the endpoint response inside a standard response structure which contains status information and the actual response to the query. Here is a description of the various fields of the wrapper:

NameTypeDescription
statusString'OK' or 'ERROR'
messageStringEmpty if success or an error message
data_typeString'filter_by_area_geometry_response' or 'none' in case of an error
dataStringEmpty string
data_strJSON or String

This embedded JSON represents the result of the /filter/byarea/geometry endpoint:

NameTypeDescription
countlongThe number of records passing the area filter.
infomap of string to strings

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

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

Empty string in case of an error.
