Re: [postgis-users] Distance between two furthest points of a group

2015-07-13 Thread Jonathan Moules
Thanks for the replies, interesting stuff. I ended up using ST_ConvexHull(st_collect(geom)) in PostGIS (nice and fast) to create a polygon covering all the points, and then I used FME to measure the distance between all the vertices of that hull and the greatest distance was my answer. The hull

[postgis-users] Postgres 9.4 long query times/stalls

I'm finally getting around to upgrading to Postgres 9.4 and I'm seeing long query times on my Postgis database. In Postgres 9.3.6, Postgis 2.1.7, I have a 70M record table of lines, with a view that does a complex lookup to another 67M record non-geo table. Extracting a small .2°x.2° area with

You could turn logging on your database and see the query output in the log file. ALTER DATABASE mydb SET log_statement = 'all'; Hope that helps, Regina -Original Message- From: postgis-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:postgis-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of William Ky

Jeez I'm an idiot. I was confusing my view with a materialized view. After upgrading, when I saw the materialized view I thought it was a leftover experiment that didn't work (I recall having trouble setting that up) and trashed it. I only remember using the dynamic view, but my memory can be
