Leveraging the Power of Databases for Spatial Analysis and Processing
Abstract
Databases can often be overlooked as simply an option for storage. Triggers, functions, and other functionality present in modern databases can help you perform spatial analysis entirely within your database. The talk will discuss and give examples how database rules were used to help quality control crowdsourced spatial data, a project management system that could update ArcMap, and how PostgreSQL is being used to study habitat change for 60 endangered and threatened species in New Jersey.
