Hi all,
As written in document
http://www.geotools.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Extending+the+JDBCDataStore/,
Geotools uses two approaches for managing cartographic data: using a
spatial database or storing every feature into BLOB field of a
traditional relational database.
Using other GIS toolkits, I founded very useful a hybrid approach
(sometimes named as data binding).
In this mode geographic shapes are stored in a file, as using
ShapefileDataStore, but features are found joining with data in some
database table/view.
This is important when we cannot use a spatial database, because
loading geometries from file is often faster than loading from blob
into database.
I doesn't find this feature in standard Geotools modules. Does anybody
tried this approach?
Not yet, you are welcome to float the idea at a Monday IRC meeting. I am
sure we could set you up with some subversion space if you wanted to
pursue the idea.
I understand this approach is common w/ coverages.
