[postgis-users] Rain sensor --- Interpolation -- RASTER -- IDW

[Regina Obe]

Unfortunately most of the Mapalgebra (maybe all) callback functions packaged with PostGIS are written in plpgsql which is dog for call back functions.

I did an experiment a while ago (I need to revisit it) rewriting a call back function in SQL and another for PLV8.

What I concluded (at least for my sample function st_range4ma)

1) plpgsql is slower than even SQL  and plv8 turned out to be the fastest.

I'm suspecting as far as PLs where you can stuff the code right in the function PLV8 might be the best language for writing call back functions. 
I suspect C would be faster and we really should rewrite all those call back functions in PostGIS in C.

The simple test I did --  

PLV8 was 8 times faster than PL/PGSQL  and 2 times faster than a callback written in SQL.

I'm planning to repeat these tests and maybe I can test with InvDistWeight4MA this time to see if those metrics still hold true.

Thanks,
Regina
