Course Description:
Geographic data is data with implicit or explicit reference to a location relative to the
Earth. A geographic dataset comprises features that represent real world phenomena
associated with a location relative to the Earth's surface. Examples include roads, trees,
boundaries, lakes, rivers, sales districts and customer locations.
This course provides a practical introduction to PostgreSQL with PostGIS, covering the
following major themes of spatial databases: installing and configuring PostGIS, viewing
PostGIS data in a desktop GIS, spatial SQL queries, spatial joins and spatial indexing.
Although the theory is explained, most of the time during the course will be spent on
practical examples, ensuring that delegates understand how to view spatial data, query
spatial databases, etc. The course aims to equip the delegates with the necessary skills
and knowledge to use spatial databases in the daily operations of their respective jobs.
