This topic describes the ST_AsTableFormat function. This function obtains the definition of a trajectory to specify the column type for the ST_AsTable function.
Syntax
text ST_AsTableFormat(trajectory traj);Parameters
Parameter | Description |
traj | The original trajectory object. |
Description
This function obtains the definition of a trajectory and provides the record type as a text file. The record type is used when you call the ST_AsTable function to convert a trajectory into a table.
For example, if you want to convert a trajectory into a table, you must call the ST_AsTableFormat function to obtain the definition of a trajectory and then convert the trajectory into a table with specific columns. In this example, the definition is (t timestamp, x double precision, y double precision, sog real, cog integer, hdg integer, rot integer, status integer, is_satelite smallint, statictime integer).
SELECT f.* FROM table_name, ST_AsTable(traj) AS f(t timestamp, x double precision, y double precision, sog real, cog integer, hdg integer, rot integer, status integer, is_satelite smallint, statictime integer);Examples
SELECT ST_AsTableFormat('{"trajectory":{"version":1,"type":"STPOINT","leafcount":1,"start_time":"2010-01-01 11:30:00","end_time":"2010-01-01 11:30:00","spatial":"SRID=4326;POINT(1 1)","timeline":["2010-01-01 11:30:00"],"attributes":{"leafcount":1,"i1":{"type":"integer","length":1,"nullable":true,"value":[1]},"i2":{"type":"integer","length":2,"nullable":true,"value":[1]},"i4":{"type":"integer","length":4,"nullable":true,"value":[1]},"i8":{"type":"integer","length":8,"nullable":true,"value":[1]}, "f4":{"type":"float","length":4,"nullable":true,"value":[1]},"f8":{"type":"float","length":8,"nullable":true,"value":[1]},"string":{"type":"string","length":10,"nullable":true,"value":["fat"]},"timestamp":{"type":"timestamp","length":8,"nullable":true,"value":["2010-01-01 11:30:00"]},"bool":{"type":"bool","length":1,"nullable":true,"value":["true"]}}}}'::trajectory);
