Bienvenue sur PostGIS.fr

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.

74      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.
75
76 * **"What is the area of Manhattan in acres?"** (Hint: both ``nyc_census_blocks`` and ``nyc_neighborhoods`` have a ``boroname`` in them.)

151The geometry type is "MultiPolygon", interesting!
152   
153     
154 * **"How many polygons are in the 'West Village' multipolygon?"**
155 
156   .. code-block:: sql

163
164      1
165       
166   .. note::
167   
168      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.
169       
170       
171 * **"What is the length of streets in New York City, summarized by type?"**
