Storing date, datetime and intervals on fields

The ability to store date, time and datetime values directly on fields depends on the data source’s provider (e.g., Shapefile accepts date format, but not datetime or time format). The following are some suggestions to overcome this limitation:

  • date, datetime and time can be converted and stored in text type fields using the format_date() function.

  • Intervals can be stored in integer or decimal type fields after using one of the date extraction functions (e.g., day() to get the interval expressed in days)

13.2.13.47. hausdorff_distance

Returns the Hausdorff distance between two geometries. This is basically a measure of how similar or dissimilar 2 geometries are, with a lower distance indicating more similar geometries.

The function can be executed with an optional densify fraction argument. If not specified, an approximation to the standard Hausdorff distance is used. This approximation is exact or close enough for a large subset of useful cases. Examples of these are:

  • computing distance between Linestrings that are roughly parallel to each other, and roughly equal in length. This occurs in matching linear networks.

  • Testing similarity of geometries.

If the default approximate provided by this method is insufficient, specify the optional densify fraction argument. Specifying this argument performs a segment densification before computing the discrete Hausdorff distance. The parameter sets the fraction by which to densify each segment. Each segment will be split into a number of equal-length subsegments, whose fraction of the total length is closest to the given fraction. Decreasing the densify fraction parameter will make the distance returned approach the true Hausdorff distance for the geometries.

Argumente

13.2.22.16. sqlite_fetch_and_increment

Manage autoincrementing values in sqlite databases.

SQlite default values can only be applied on insert and not prefetched.

This makes it impossible to acquire an incremented primary key via AUTO_INCREMENT before creating the row in the database. Sidenote: with postgres, this works via the option evaluate default values.

When adding new features with relations, it is really nice to be able to already add children for a parent, while the parents form is still open and hence the parent feature uncommitted.

To get around this limitation, this function can be used to manage sequence values in a separate table on sqlite based formats like gpkg.

The sequence table will be filtered for a sequence id (filter_attribute and filter_value) and the current value of the id_field will be incremented by 1 and the incremented value returned.

If additional columns require values to be specified, the default_values map can be used for this purpose.

Note

This function modifies the target sqlite table. It is intended for usage with default value configurations for attributes.

When the database parameter is a layer and the layer is in transaction mode, the value will only be retrieved once during the lifetime of a transaction and cached and incremented. This makes it unsafe to work on the same database from several processes in parallel.

Sintaxă

sqlite_fetch_and_increment(database, table, id_field, filter_attribute, filter_value, [default_values])

[] marks optional arguments

Argumente

  • database - Path to the sqlite file or geopackage layer

  • filter_attribute - Name the field that contains a unique identifier for this sequence. Must have a UNIQUE index.

  • filter_value - Name of the sequence to use.

  • default_values - Map with default values for additional columns on the table. The values need to be fully quoted. Functions are allowed.

Exemple

  • sqlite_fetch_and_increment(@layer, 'sequence_table', 'last_unique_id', 'sequence_id', 'global', map('last_change', 'date(''now'')', 'user', '''' || @user_account_name || '''')) → 0

  • sqlite_fetch_and_increment(layer_property(@layer, 'path'), 'sequence_table', 'last_unique_id', 'sequence_id', 'global', map('last_change', 'date(''now'')', 'user', '''' || @user_account_name || '''')) → 0

About fields concatenation

You can also concatenate strings or field values using either || or + operators, with some special characteristics:

  • The + operator also means sum up expression, so if you have an integer (field or numeric value) operand, this can be error prone and you better use the others:

    'My feature id is: ' + "gid" => triggers an error as gid returns an integer
    
  • When any of the arguments is a NULL value, either || or + will return a NULL value. To return the other arguments regardless the NULL value, you may want to use the concat function:

    'My feature id is: ' + NULL ==> NULL
    'My feature id is: ' || NULL => NULL
    concat('My feature id is: ', NULL) => 'My feature id is: '
