This has affected applications in addition to third-party tools such as Geoserver, MapServer, QuantumGIS, and OpenJump to name a few. There are a couple of ways to resolve this. For the third-party apps, you can try to upgrade to the latest versions of these which have many of these issues fixed. For your own code, you can change your code to not use the functions removed. Most of these functions are non ST_ aliases of ST_Union, ST_Length etc. and as a last resort, install the whole of <varname>legacy.sql</varname> or just the portions of <varname>legacy.sql</varname> you need."

There are three data types currently supported. The standard OGC geometry data type which uses a planar coordinate system for measurement, the geography data type which uses a geodetic coordinate system (not OGC, but you'll find a similar type in Microsoft SQL Server 2008+). Only WGS 84 long lat (SRID:4326) is supported by the geography data type. The newest family member of the PostGIS spatial type family is raster for storing and analyzing raster data.

+msgid "Short Answer: geography is a new data type that supports long range distances measurements, but most computations on it are currently slower than they are on geometry. If you use geography -- you don't need to learn much about planar coordinate systems. Geography is generally best if all you care about is measuring distances and lengths and you have data from all over the world. Geometry data type is an older data type that has many more functions supporting it, enjoys greater support from third party tools, and operations on it are generally faster -- sometimes as much as 10 fold faster for larger geometries. Geometry is best if you are pretty comfortable with spatial reference systems or you are dealing with localized data where all your data fits in a single <link linkend=\"spatial_ref_sys\">spatial reference system (SRID)</link>, or you need to do a lot of spatial processing. Note: It is fairly easy to do one-off conversions between the two types to gain the benefits of each.

+msgid "Current PostgreSQL versions (including 8.0) suffer from a query optimizer weakness regarding TOAST tables. TOAST tables are a kind of \"extension room\" used to store large (in the sense of data size) values that do not fit into normal data pages (like long texts, images or complex geometries with lots of vertices), see <ulink url=\"http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/storage-toast.html\">the PostgreSQL Documentation for TOAST</ulink> for more information)."

Then the table itself is small, but it uses lots of TOAST space. In our example case, the table itself had about 80 rows and used only 3 data pages, but the TOAST table used 8225 pages."

Now the query optimizer sees that the table has only 3 pages and 80 rows. He estimates that a sequential scan on such a small table is much faster than using an index. And so he decides to ignore the GIST index. Usually, this estimation is correct. But in our case, the &amp;&amp; operator has to fetch every geometry from disk to compare the bounding boxes, thus reading all TOAST pages, too."

This basically forces the query planner to avoid sequential scans whenever possible. So it uses the GIST index as usual. But this flag has to be set on every connection, and it causes the query planner to make misestimations in other cases, so you should \"SET enable_seqscan TO on;\" after the query."

+msgid "If no <varname>maxchars</varname> is specficified ST_GeoHash returns a GeoHash based on full precision of the input geometry type. Points return a GeoHash with 20 characters of precision (about enough to hold the full double precision of the input). Other types return a GeoHash with a variable amount of precision, based on the size of the feature. Larger features are represented with less precision, smaller features with more precision. The idea is that the box implied by the GeoHash will always contain the input feature."

Because of the memory copying needed to copy between the C and plpgsql layer, this function is much much slower than it needs to be. Future 2.0 releases will have this function implemented in C, so you should witness significant improvements in speed when that happens. As a general rule of thumb you want to minimize the size of the rasters, that ST_Union works with. One approach is to clip first and then union the clipped versions. Refer to select parcels example in <xref linkend=\"RT_ST_MapAlgebraExpr2\"/>. That example if unioning is done before clipping takes about 4 times longer. With the higher res imagery the timing the ratio between is even higher."

+msgid "A Cast is when one type is coerced into another type. PostgreSQL is unique from most databases in that it allows you to define casting behavior for custom types and the functions used for casting. A cast can be specified as automatic in which case, you do not have to do a CAST(myfoo As otherfootype) or myfoo::otherfootype if you are feeding it to a function that only works with otherfootype and there is an automatic cast in place for it."

+#. Tag: para
+#: reference_type.xml:13

+msgid "The danger of relying on automatic cast behavior is when you have an overloaded function say one that takes a box2d and one that takes a box3d but no geometry. What happens is that both functions are equally good to use with geometry since geometry has an autocast for both -- so you end up with an ambiguous function error. To force PostgreSQL to choose, you do a CAST(mygeom As box3d) or mygeom::box3d."

+msgid "<varname>overview_factor</varname> - this is the pyramid level of the overview table. The higher the number the lower the resolution of the table. raster2pgsql if given a folder of images, will compute overview of each image file and load separately. Level 1 is assumed and always the original file. Level 2 is will have each tile represent 4 of the original. So for example if you have a folder of 5000x5000 pixel image files that you chose to chunk 125x125, for each image file your base table will have (5000*5000)/(125*125) records = 1600, your (l=2) <varname>o_2</varname> table will have ceiling(1600/Power(2,2)) = 400 rows, your (l=3) <varname>o_3</varname> will have ceiling(1600/Power(2,3) ) = 200 rows. If your pixels aren't divisible by the size of your tiles, you'll get some scrap tiles (tiles not completely filled). Note that each overview tile generated by raster2pgsql has the same number of pixels as its parent, but is of a lower resolution where each pixel of it represents (Power(2,overview_factor) pixels of the original)."
