Geospatial Analysis with SQL

Section 1: Getting Started with Geospatial Analytics

Readers will learn how spatial SQL increases efficiency in working with geospatial databases. Also, prior to analyzing geospatial data, the reader will learn about the frameworks and the distinction between geometry and geography. This is the primary difference between SQL and spatial SQL. They will learn about spatial algorithms and will begin integrating GIS functions into a modern SQL computing environment.

This section has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Introducing the Fundamentals of Geospatial Analytics
  • Chapter 2, Conceptual Framework for SQL Spatial Data Science – Geometry Versus Geography
  • Chapter 3, Analyzing and Understanding Spatial Algorithms
  • Chapter 4, An Overview of Spatial Statistics

Key benefits

  • Follow along with actionable instructions with this practical guide
  • Become well-versed in advanced spatial modeling and machine learning techniques
  • Learn best practices for performing spatial analysis from an expert spatial data analyst

Description

Geospatial analysis is industry agnostic and a powerful tool for answering location questions. Combined with the power of SQL, developers and analysts worldwide rely on database integration to solve real-world spatial problems. This book introduces skills to help you detect and quantify patterns in datasets through data exploration, visualization, data engineering, and the application of analysis and spatial techniques. You will begin by exploring the fundamentals of geospatial analysis where you’ll learn about the importance of geospatial analysis and how location information enhances data exploration. Walter Tobler’s second law of geography states, “the phenomenon external to a geographic area of interest affects what goes on inside.” This quote will be the framework of the geospatial questions we will explore. You’ll then observe the framework of geospatial analysis using SQL while learning to create spatial databases and SQL queries and functions. By the end of this book, you will have an expanded toolbox of analytic skills such as PostGIS and QGIS to explore data questions and analysis of spatial information.

What you will learn

Understand geospatial fundamentals as a basis for learning spatial SQL Generate point, line, and polygon data with SQL Use spatial data types to abstract and encapsulate spatial structures Work with open source GIS combined with plug-ins Visualize spatial data and expand QGIS functionality with Postgres Apply location data to leverage spatial analytics Perform single-layer and multiple-layer spatial analyses
