Description


Are you having trouble creating a SQL statement to do something important, or is it not running fast enough?

Send me the statement and I will have a go at fixing it.

You have to contact me via email (see contact form).

When you send me the SQL statement, if it is a SELECT statement don’t forget to send me the data too.

You can do this via a Common Table Expression (CTE) as follows:


WITH data AS (
/* Oracle ....*/
SELECT SDO_GEOMETRY('LINESTRING(0 0,1 1)',28355) as ora_geom FROM DUAL UNION ALL .....
/* SQL Server */
SELECT GEOMETRY::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0,1 1)',28355) as ss_geom FROM DUAL UNION ALL .....
/* PostGIS */
SELECT ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0,1 1)',28355) as pg_geom FROM DUAL UNION ALL .....
)
SELECT columns.....
FROM data a;

For example:

With river_line as (
select 1 as gid, ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING (9.091 64.229, 12.451 66.798, 17.391 68.379, 21.146 67.589, 29.842 67.589, 33.794 70.356, 38.538 71.542, 45.059 72.332, 52.372 71.739, 57.905 69.368, 59.684 67.194, 65.217 65.217, 73.32 65.217, 78.854 60.079, 79.842 54.941, 81.028 44.862, 85.178 39.921, 85.375 30.83, 82.609 24.901, 79.842 18.775)') as geom
