<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Spatial databases with PostGIS presented by Continued Education at the University of Pretoria, South Africa (<a href="http://www.ceatup.com">www.ceatup.com</a>)<br>
------------------------------------------<br>
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.<br>
<br>
LEARNING OUTCOMES<br>
After completion of the course delegates should be able to:<br>
- create a spatial database in PostGIS;<br>
- load spatial data into a PostGIS database;<br>
- view spatial data in a PostGIS database from QGIS;<br>
- manipulate and query spatial data with SQL; and<br>
- tune PostgreSQL for efficient spatial data access.<br>
<br>
OUTLINE OF COURSE CONTENT<br>
The course is presented on Mondays over a period of five weeks. Full-day attendance on campus for five days for eight hours each day is required. The course covers the following topics:<br>
- Object-relational databases with PostgreSQL<br>
- Spatial databases with PostGIS<br>
- Manipulate and query spatial databases with SQL<br>
- Configuring PostgreSQL and PostGIS for spatial data<br>
<br>
WHO SHOULD ATTEND<br>
The course is aimed at people working in the GIS industry who want to use PostGIS spatial databases in their work. A basic knowledge of GIS is required.
<br>
<br>
ACCREDITATION<br>
The University of Pretoria is an accredited higher education provider. Three CPD points will be obtained for successful completion of the course.<br>
<br>
ASSESSMENT<br>
A University of Pretoria certificate is awarded to delegates who successfully complete the theory and practical assessment.
