A Guide to PostGIS: Basic Geospatial Data Query Examples

Geospatial data is becoming increasingly important in many fields, from urban planning to environmental science. In this article, we’ll demonstrate basic PostgreSQL PostGIS queries for working with this type of data. Geospatial data, which contains information about locations on Earth, requires specialized tools for effective use. PostGIS is a powerful PostgreSQL extension that turns a Postgres database into a full-featured Geographic Information System (GIS). With PostGIS, you can store geographic objects, run spatial queries, and perform advanced analyses directly in SQL.

An Introduction to Spatial Databases and Geospatial Data

Discover how spatial databases and geospatial data enhance spatial queries, support GIS integrations, and enable advanced data analysis. Spatial databases are specialized database systems designed to store, manage, and query geospatial data efficiently. These databases provide support for spatial data types and spatial indexing, allowing for complex spatial queries and analysis. Geospatial data, stored within these databases, represents information about the physical world tied to specific locations on Earth.
