Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the subject is to educate students how to create databases for spatial data and utilise DBMS, namely spatial extension of SQL for solving of different spatial tasks. Spatial operation are provided in the environment of large object-related database systems.

Summary

The course explains an architecture, concepts and SQL in OR DBMS such as Oracle or PostgreSQL+PostGIS, methods of spatial data storage in the database environment, conceptual models, spatial indeces, usage of spatial functions in SQL and implementation in the selected database environments.

Additional study materials

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester

Students are asked about knowledge from areas that they should have already known from previous lectures. Students also work on individual tasks. Tasks are frequently based on understanding of previous, simpler tasks. Student must pass writing and oral exam.
