<div dir="ltr">Hi list,<div><br></div><div>I'm back from the deep with an initial complete implementation of ST_AsMVT aggregate function (1).<div><br></div><div>The signature is as follows:</div><div><br></div><div>CREATE AGGREGATE ST_AsMVT(name text, bounds box2d, extent int4, buffer int4, clip_geom bool, geom_name text, anyelement)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Typical usage is with a subquery to create a single layer. Here is an example from the regression tests:</div><div><br></div><div><div>SELECT ST_AsMVT('test', ST_MakeBox2D(ST_Point(0, 0), ST_Point(4096, 4096)), 4096, 0, false, 'geom', q)</div><div>FROM (SELECT 1 AS c1, 'abcd'::text AS c2, ST_GeomFromText('POINT(25 17)') AS geom) AS q;</div></div><div><br></div><div>I have been able to use it on real data to produce a set of more than 400 000 tiles with multiple layers and attributes without known issues. Tiles with multiple layers can be created by simply concatenating output from ST_AsMVT.</div><div><br></div><div>Feedback on the implementation, usage and/or test results will be much appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>1) <a href="https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/postgis/postgis/pulls/5">https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/postgis/postgis/pulls/5</a></div><div><br></div><div><div>/Björn<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-09-19 0:22 GMT+02:00 Björn Harrtell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bjorn.harrtell@gmail.com" target="_blank">bjorn.harrtell@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="gmail-">2016-09-18 17:28 GMT+02:00 Paul Ramsey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pramsey@cleverelephant.ca" target="_blank">pramsey@cleverelephant.ca</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">I think that “pass in a SQL” string, or “table name” are the roads to hackyland.
