Geometry Processing Functions and Spatial Joins in PostGIS

This course brings you into the world of PostGIS focusing on the geometry functions and the way space can be managed. This video is valuable for anyone that does GIS work or builds software and would like to improve operational spatial databases and exhibit high-level spatial analysis with PostGIS.

We will discover approaches for working with geometry and explain how you can apply them, and also how you can decompose spatial information. You will be able to use even basic PostGIS functionality such as creating and optimizing geometry and quite complex jobs such as buffering or unification of shapes.

We also discuss about integration of spatial data which is significant to geographical analysis. This allows one to perform the join operation based on the relationship of the datasets in space.
