Usage
PostGIS Topology: Topological data model support for PostGIS
PostGIS Topology implements the SQL/MM topology model for PostgreSQL. It represents spatial data as a graph of nodes, edges, and faces, ensuring that shared boundaries are stored only once and geometric consistency is enforced.
Setup
This creates the topology schema with management tables and functions.
Creating a Topology
A topology is a named schema with a defined SRID and tolerance for snapping:
List all topologies:
Building Topology Primitives
Adding Edges
Edges are the fundamental building blocks. Nodes are created automatically at edge endpoints.
Inspecting Primitives
TopoGeometry
A TopoGeometry is a spatial object defined by references to topology primitives rather than coordinates. This ensures shared boundaries stay consistent.
Creating a TopoGeometry Layer
Assigning TopoGeometry Values
Validating Topology
