Conversation
A new table `location` is created to accommodate location data of an account or an event based on GPS coordinates. The new function `distance' calculates the linear distance between two locations.

Thank you for the submission, there are just a few lines that likely weren't intended to be submit as is.
What do you think about the earthdistance module?

Instead of working with the original GPS coordinates we use the data type GEOMETRY from the PostGIS extension. Table `maevs.location`was dropped in favor of GEOMETRY typed columns in tables `maevsi_private.account' and `maevsi.event'. A collection of location related functions was added in a single source code file `function_package_location.sql`similar to the package feature in Oracle which is missing in PostgreSQL.
Necessary for the Postgraphile PostGIS module.

I'm working on providing a postgraphile image that includes its PostGIS plugin over at https://github.com/maevsi/postgraphile. Also, in my testing, the geography gave way better results than geometry so I switched those. |
I found https://hashrocket.com/blog/posts/juxtaposing-earthdistance-and-postgis and recommend staying with PostGIS. |
Calculations using GEOMETRY instead of GEOMETRY are slower, so I thought we couild live with a trade-off in accuracy. I have been assuming that distances between e.g. New York and Berlind are irrelevent because we focus on a local/regional scope. See https://postgis.net/docs/manual-3.5/using_postgis_dbmanagement.html#PostGIS_Geometry, section 4.3.3, for more details. |
Queries on dictionary tables were added to the verification scripts for spatial indexes.
