 Hi All,

 I've written up a blog post titled 
 Spatial IoT : Micro Map API Server : with embedded Tomcat, Spring, 
 embedded H2GIS, GeoJSON on Raspberry PI 
 http://blog.sortedset.com/spatial-iot-micro-map-api-server-embedded-tomcat-spring-embedded-h2gis-geojson-raspberry-pi/
  
 In this blog I've detail steps to try out H2GIS with embedded Tomcat, 
 Spring in a RESTful manner using GeoJSON. Let me know if you liked it?

 Thanks.

[h2] Re: Interfaces instead of direct JTS reference

2015-02-04 Thread bocher


Dear Steve,

Offer interfaces instead of direct JTS object is a good option. As Nicolas 
points out, it will be very interesting to extend the geometry model to 
support OGC Simple Feature Specification for SQL. This idea is in our pipe. 
We have identified the current constraints to do that and you are welcome 
to exchange with H2GIS team and H2 guys.

Could you explain what is not relevant to you with H2GIS , because we 
support all SFS operators, predicates and we have advanced spatial 
capabilities ?

 Hi Erwan,
 there are two issues why I can't use H2GIS.
  
 *Issue 1: *
 the license - GPL 3 is not an option for us


Oh. Sorry maybe you are working on a proprietary software ;-). In this 
case, you are right, H2GIS is not suitable for you.


 *Issue 2: *
 We are using a binary format which is different to WKB and we don't want 
 to make huge workarounds, which allows us to convert our binary format to a 
 WKB because that's an unnecessary overhead for us which brings us no 
 benefit.


I am a bit curious. Is your format compliant with a standard or a 
specification ? 


 In addition our binary format supports more geometry types which are 
 necessary for our application.


More than the ISO 19107 geometry model ?

[h2] Re: Interfaces instead of direct JTS reference

2015-02-04 Thread Nicolas Fortin (OrbisGIS)


Hi,

This is a good idea.

Few suggestions:

   - IEnvelope, IGeometryFactory, IGeometry and GeometryParseException 
   should be in the API package of H2. 
   - User defined function should be able to directly reference the wrapped 
   spatial type. Then maybe add two methods like this interface 
   http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/Wrapper.html and 
   manager this case when calling user defined function and table function. 
   - H2 should provide itself a default implementation for ease of use 
(stackoverflow 
   question 
   
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27943435/what-is-the-syntax-for-running-a-spatial-query-in-h2/27949066#27949066).
 
   To change default implementation class you could use sys properties 
   http://www.h2database.com/javadoc/org/h2/engine/SysProperties.html. 
   - Currently all type of geometry are merged together into Geometry type. 
   We should find a way to add a constraint to define for ex. a LINESTRING 
   column that stay LINESTRING column when copying the table. (H2 Domain does 
   not survive when doing 
   
   CREATE TABLE MYTAB AS SELECT THE_GEOM FROM SRCTAB;

[h2] Re: ResultSet is empty when I move my database file from Windows to Linux environment.

Hi,

If you use the H2GIS function FileTable it creates an empty table if the 
linked shape file is not found. If you want to embed the shape file in the 
database you should use SHPREAD instead.

Re: [h2] Using synchronized in user defined functions or not

2015-02-04 Thread Noel Grandin


Synchronized means that only thread at a time can execute the ALIAS, which will 
slow a multithreaded server down.

Whether or not you need synchronized on that method is a different question, 
and depends on how the method is implemented.

My 2 cents:

I'm working on open source Apache licensed software and H2GIS with GPL3 is 
incompatible here as well ;)
So I'll be happy if alternative GIS extension for H2 with less restrictive 
license will appear.

[h2] Re: JRuby + Sinatra + H2 + ActiveRecord(Optional)

2015-02-04 Thread Max Lord
Hi Sheldon!

H2 is very well supported by the jruby activerecord-jdbc-adapter project.

https://github.com/jruby/activerecord-jdbc-adapter

You can use either active record or sequel as an ORM. The only caveat is 
that the jar version of H2 in jdbc-h2 is maybe not the best version to use. 
It might be better to build H2 and use a newer version.

Good luck,
Max

 Trying to find some example code but haven't really found anything

 those
 technologies. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [h2] 1.4 beta creates much bigger database file

2015-02-04 Thread Max Lord
I also had problems with an mvstore db growing out of control (about 3GB 
for 1M rows). I updated to 1.4.184, reimported, and it was much smaller 
(100MB). 

So the recent changes have had a very positive effect. 

Unfortunately, I was using 1.4.178 because that was the current jar bundled 
with the jdbc-h2 ruby gem. That version doesn't seem like such a good 
default.

 Hi,

 Speaking of real world example - we are using H2 1.4.x to hold results 
 for a continuous delivery chain. With 1.4.177, our database was  600 Mb, 
 and after a 'shutdown defrag', we went down to... 11 Mb. We switched to 
 1.4.184 but now, the database has grown up to 1.7 Gb. That's a serious 
 issue for us :(

 The URL we use is:

 jdbc:h2:/opt/ontrack/database/data;MODE=MYSQL

 Hi,

 OK, that's nice! There is still quite a lot of room for improvements, 
 and I don't consider this completely fixed, but will not work on it with 
 very high priority any longer.

 Hi Thomas,

 The database file size in 1.4.184 is much, much better than in earlier 
 1.4.x releases.

 I've done some trials and these are my findings:

 1.3.176: Fully loaded database after shutdown is 317 Mb
 1.4.184: Fully loaded database after shutdown is 380 Mb

 This seems reasonable.

 Hi,

 Version 1.4.184 should produce smaller database files than previous 
 version (1.4.x - 1.4.182), maybe half or a third of the old file size. It 
 would be great to get some real-world results!

 Thomas

 Hi,

 Some initial results: you can shrink the database by running 
 shutdown compact or shutdown defrag. Each time this is run, it 
 shrinks 
 a few MB (up to some point, of course). This works, but it's relatively 
 slow. Now the task is to make it faster. There are two ways: shrink it 
 fully to the minimum size, and shrink it incrementally (like now) but 
 faster. I'm working on that now.

 Thomas

 Hi Thomas,

 I've sent you a private email with a link to the new database file, 
 made with H2 1.4.178

 Hi,

 The database file should shrink if you run shutdown defrag.

 The current compact algorithm is quite inefficient, that means the 
 databases file is quite big on average. The highest priority is still 
 to 
 ensure it always works correctly, and when that's done I will work on 
 more 
 efficiently re-using disk space and specially compact the file faster 
 when 
 closing the database.

 Could you send me the new database file? It would be nice to have a 
 real-world database file to test this. The last file you sent helped a 
 lot, 
 thanks to it I found some problems that completely prevented the file 
 to 
 shrink.

 Thomas

 Hi Thomas,

 I tested the same large data import with H2 1.4.178, and there is 
 no improvement over H2 1.4.177.

 Here are the file sizes, in both cases after the app has stopped:

 H2 1.3.176: pokercopilot.h2.db  301,669,352  bytes
 H2 1.4.178: pokercopilot.mv.db 1,023,037,440  bytes

 Let me know what I can do to help.

 Regards,

 Steve

 Hi,

 Thanks a lot for the database! I know what the problem is now, but 
 I couldn't fix it yet. The database file (pokercopilot2.mv.db) has 
 about 
 181 MB of live data, the rest (about 78%) is not used. The 
 mechanism to 
 get rid of the unused space is not working as it should for this case 
 (I 
 think the problem is that b-tree nodes are not processed correctly). 
 This 
 will be fixed in the next release.

 Thomas

 Hi,

 Hm, that didn't help much. Could you send me the (compressed) 
 database files please?
