## Requirements
- PostgreSQL 12 or later
- PostGIS 3.0 or later
- Rust 1.85 or later
## Installation
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
oxigdal-postgis = "0.1"
oxigdal-core = "0.1"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
```
### Optional Features
Enable TLS support with Rustls:
```toml
[dependencies]
oxigdal-postgis = { version = "0.1", features = ["rustls"] }
```
## Quick Start
### Basic Connection and Query
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
use oxigdal_core::types::BoundingBox;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
// Create connection pool
let config = ConnectionConfig::new("gis_database")
.host("localhost")
.user("postgres")
.password("your_password")
.port(5432);
let pool = ConnectionPool::new(config)?;
// Verify PostGIS is installed
let health = pool.health_check().await?;
if !health.postgis_installed {
eprintln!("PostGIS is required!");
return Ok(());
}
println!("Connected to PostgreSQL {}", health.postgresql_version);
println!("PostGIS version: {}", health.postgis_version);
// Query features within a bounding box
let bbox = BoundingBox::new(-180.0, -90.0, 180.0, 90.0)?;
let features = SpatialQuery::new("buildings")?
.where_bbox(&bbox)?
.limit(100)
.execute(&pool)
.await?;
println!("Found {} features", features.len());
Ok(())
}
```
## Usage
### Connection Management
#### Creating a Connection Pool
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
let config = ConnectionConfig::new("my_database")
.host("localhost")
.user("postgres")
.password("password")
.port(5432)
.max_size(20); // Connection pool size
let pool = ConnectionPool::new(config)?;
```
#### SSL/TLS Connections
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
let config = ConnectionConfig::new("secure_db")
.host("db.example.com")
.ssl_mode(SslMode::Require); // TLS required
let pool = ConnectionPool::new(config)?;
```
### Spatial Queries
#### Building Spatial Queries with Fluent API
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
use oxigdal_core::types::BoundingBox;
// Query by bounding box
let features = SpatialQuery::new("buildings")?
.where_bbox(&bbox)?
.select(&["id", "name", "area"])
.limit(1000)
.execute(&pool)
.await?;
// Query with spatial relationships
let features = SpatialQuery::new("parcels")?
.where_intersects(&geometry)?
.srid(4326)
.order_by_distance(&point)?
.limit(50)
.execute(&pool)
.await?;
// Complex spatial queries
let features = SpatialQuery::new("roads")?
.where_contains(&area)?
.where_clause("length > 1000")
.order_by("length", false) // descending
.offset(10)
.limit(100)
.execute(&pool)
.await?;
```
#### Spatial Operations
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
// Query spatial relationships
let query = SpatialQuery::new("features")?
.where_intersects(&geometry)? // Finds intersecting features
.where_contains(&area)? // Finds containing features
.where_within(®ion)? // Finds features within
.where_dwithin(&point, 1000.0)? // Finds features within distance
.execute(&pool)
.await?;
```
### Writing Data
#### Batch Insert Operations
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
let mut writer = PostGisWriter::new(pool.clone(), "results")
.srid(4326)
.create_table(true)
.geometry_column("geom")
.batch_size(1000);
for feature in features {
writer.add_to_batch(feature);
}
// Flush remaining batch
writer.flush().await?;
```
#### Batch Configuration
```rust
let writer = PostGisWriter::new(pool, "output_table")
.srid(4326) // SRID for geometries
.create_table(true) // Create table if not exists
.geometry_column("geom") // Geometry column name
.batch_size(5000) // Batch insert size
.overwrite(false); // Keep existing data
// Or use individual inserts
writer.write_feature(feature).await?;
```
### Reading Data
#### Streaming Large Datasets
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
let mut reader = PostGisReader::new(
pool.clone(),
"large_dataset"
)?;
// Stream features to avoid loading everything into memory
while let Some(feature) = reader.next().await? {
process_feature(&feature)?;
}
```
#### Reader Configuration
```rust
let reader = PostGisReader::new(pool, "table_name")?
.geometry_column("geom")
.chunk_size(1000)
.where_clause("status = 'active'");
```
### Transaction Management
#### Using Transactions
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
let client = pool.get().await?;
let mut tx = Transaction::new(client)?;
// Perform operations within transaction
let query1 = SpatialQuery::new("table1")?
.limit(10)
.execute_in_transaction(&mut tx)
.await?;
let query2 = SpatialQuery::new("table2")?
.limit(10)
.execute_in_transaction(&mut tx)
.await?;
// Commit or rollback
tx.commit().await?;
```
#### Savepoints
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
let mut tx = Transaction::new(client)?;
// Create savepoint
tx.savepoint("sp1")?;
// Do work...
// Rollback to savepoint if needed
tx.rollback_to("sp1")?;
// Continue and commit
tx.commit().await?;
```
### Advanced Features
#### Custom SQL Functions
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::sql::functions;
// Use PostGIS functions in queries
let distance_expr = functions::st_distance("geom", &point)?;
let buffer_expr = functions::st_buffer("geom", 1000.0)?;
let area_expr = functions::st_area("geom")?;
```
#### WKB Encoding/Decoding
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::wkb::*;
// Encode geometry to WKB
let encoder = WkbEncoder::new(ByteOrder::LittleEndian);
let wkb_bytes = encoder.encode(&geometry)?;
// Decode WKB bytes
let decoder = WkbDecoder::new(&wkb_bytes);
let geometry = decoder.decode()?;
```
#### Feature Building
```rust
use oxigdal_postgis::*;
let feature = FeatureBuilder::new()
.id(42)
.geometry(geometry)?
.property("name", "Example")
.property("value", 100)
.build()?;
```
