I have 2 postGIS tables CITIES and WATERBODIES, I want to remove waterbody geometry from cities, I'm trying to use
CREATE TABLE usa_No_water_100 AS
SELECT ST_Difference(usa_100.geom, water_100.geom) AS geom
FROM usa_100, water_100
but this creates a table with 10000 entries, I'm looking for the same 100 rows which I have in cities shape but with waterbodies geometry subtracted.
Geometry layer is as follows
Water layer is as follows
I want to remove the cities shape which is under the water shape, so that geometry will be reduced
PS: I'm open to doing this via python as well, if you have any suggestions
You can to compare the geometries of usa_100 with water_100 table using ST_Difference as you suggested, but to avoid getting the product of both tables you have to put one in a subquery or CTE, e.g.
WITH j (geom) AS (
SELECT ST_Union(geom) FROM water_100
) SELECT ST_Difference(usa_100.geom,j.geom)
FROM usa_100,j
Note: keep in mind what the ST_Difference documentation says:
If A is completely contained in B then an empty geometry is returned.
So, if a polygon on usa_100 entirely lies on a the result of ST_Union of water_100, it will return an empty geometry. If they do not spatially overlap, you do not have to worry about it.

I need to cut different lines with an identical geometry but different attributes (eg. colour) with a set of points. The points also have the attribute colour.
My knife points should only cut the lines with the same colour value. Red points should cut only red lines, green points should only cut green lines and so on...
I tried the following:
with knife as(
select st_union(geom) as geom, colour
from points
group by colour)
select lines.colour,(st_dump(st_split(lines.geom,knife.geom))).geom as geom
from lines, knife
where lines.colour=knife.colour
Sadly, my 'selective knife' isn't so selective and cuts all lines regardless of their colour.
Can anybody help?
Edit:
#JimJones I couldn't find a SQL-fiddle that supports the PostGIS extension. But with my data sample the knife somehow works perfectly.
I have no idea why whats wrong with my real data. The real data lines are in fact multilinestrings, could that be a problem? (I somehow struggling in creating multilinestrings with the insert-statement)
Edit2:
found a fiddle with PostGIS
db<>fiddle here
create table points(
id serial,
colour varchar,
geom geometry(point,4326)
);
create table lines(
id serial,
colour varchar,
geom geometry(linestring,4326)
);
insert into lines(colour, geom)
VALUES
('red','linestring(1 1,10 1)'),
('green','linestring(1 1,10 1)'),
('blue','linestring(1 1,10 1)');
insert into points(colour, geom)
VALUES
('red',(st_makepoint(2,1))),
('red',(st_makepoint(4,1))),
('red',(st_makepoint(6,1))),
('red',(st_makepoint(8,1))),
('green',(st_makepoint(2.5,1))),
('green',(st_makepoint(5,1))),
('green',(st_makepoint(7.5,1))),
('blue',(st_makepoint(3,1))),
('blue',(st_makepoint(6,1))),
('blue',(st_makepoint(9,1)));
with knife as(
select st_union(geom) as geom, colour
from points
group by colour)
select lines.colour,(st_dump(st_split(lines.geom,knife.geom))).geom as geom
from lines, knife
where lines.colour=knife.colour

Disclaimer: Im a postgres beginner. Even though I'm quite sure that I found the solution to my problem, there could be something wrong. So feel free to correct me if necessary
If you want to ST_Split a line, which you formerly merged by using ST_Union, you sould use ST_Linemerge before the ST_Split and ST_Dump.
Even after a ST_Union, PostGIS seems to 'remember' that theese lines were formerly playing for different teams. So when you ST_Slit with you new knife and ST_Dump the GeometryCollection, the linestring is cut at the 'old soldering points' as well.
If you ST_Linemerge after the ST_Union, PostGIS seems to iron out theese connection points and you can safely use your knife.
In this fiddle, I created 2 linetypes and some knife points. There is one solid line (blue) and some yellow line segments which are partly overlapping but all together have the same spatial extent as the blue line.
I used ST_Union and ST_Collect respectively (grouped by colour) to merge the yellow line segments into one single line (with no effect on the blue line, obviously).
In a second step I splitted and dumped the lines again with my knife points, one time with st_linemerge and one time without st_linemerge for the 'unioned' und 'collected' lines respectively.
The results (I counted the number of new segments and the cummulated line length for each colour) show, that only the split after the linemerged st_union gives the correct result. Using only St_Union results in the right length, but the number of linesegments is wrong. ST_Collect will keep the formerly overlapping parts,so the length as well as the number of segments are not usefull at all(for my purpose).
I have 2 tables. 1. island 2. region
I want to update island table region column based on the closet region to it using st_distance function. For e.g. for g1, st_distance(g1, geom1), st_distance(g1, geom2)... st_distance(g1, geom4) and update the region column for g1 geometry with the closet distance.
That could work like this:
UPDATE island
SET region = (SELECT regions.geom <-> island.geom
FROM regions
ORDER BY regions.geom <-> island.geom
LIMIT 1);
This can use a GiST index on regions(geom), but it will still take a while if island is large.
I have a similar case as shown in the below question.
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/293695/filling-gaps-between-polygons-using-qgis
That solution uses qgis, but I want to use a postgis function on a table on the geometry column. The solution talks about convex hull but not sure how to use the convex_hull postgis function here. I want to fill the gap by moving/merging the gap to the neighboring polygon.
As long as you have a column to group them by (e.g., "postal_code"), you can do:
SELECT
st_convexhull(st_collect(geom_column))
FROM
my_geom_table
GROUP BY
grouping_column -- e.g., "postal_code"
I have a table with polygon geometries. The polygons are separate to each other like the picture below:
I want to get a single polygon formed after merging these polygons using Postgresql. Below is the expected polygon:
Please ignore the buffer in boundaries of red polygon, it is just to make the picture clearer.
My polygon table has two columns, id and geom. I have tried using ST_Collect, ST_MakePolygon, and ST_ExteriorRing but using these I only get MULTIPOLYGON having these polygons as it is. I need a single polygon. Any help would be appreciated.
You can use similar SQL to this
SELECT
ST_ConcaveHull(
ST_Collect( ARRAY(
select
"Poly"
from table_name
where "OBJECTID" in (5,15,2)
)
),0.99
)
and add some pic to better illustrate
I have locations stored in location_table (point_location geometry), now i draw a polygon on google map and pass that polygon (geometry) to backend, I want to find all the locations that are within that polygon.
SELECT POINT_LOCATION
FROM LOCATIONS_TABLW
WHERE ST_Contains(GeomFromEWKT(?), POINT_LOCATION);
This is giving me random results when I pass the polygon from google maps to backend. Its not giving me all points that are exactly within the polygon. It gives me points that are even outside the polygon.
What is the correct way to find all points within polygon in postgis with accuracy (including border cases also)
Update :
we tried with st_intersects() it did not work as well.
UPDATE
Please find below queries
SRID=4326;POLYGON((-103.30549637500008 20.852735681153252,-103.08103481249998 20.612974162085475,-101.6261045 20.537532106266806,-99.83567868749998 20.395877027062447,-99.80306537500002 22.0572706994358,-99.64994812500004 28.918636198451633,-121.1212769375 8.69559423007209,-103.30549637500008 20.852735681153252))

This Should Return False, but it's returning true.
You can use
SELECT POINT_LOCATION
FROM LOCATIONS_TABLE
WHERE ST_Contains(ST_GEOMFROMTEXT('POLYGON((P1.X P1.Y, P2.X P2.Y, ...))'), LOCATIONS_TABLE.POINT_LOCATION);
Note: Polygon must be closed (that means the last coordinate == first coordinate). Second parameter POINT_LOCATION must be the geometry column in your point table.
UPDATE:
I have tried to replay your steps in my pg database. I created 2 tables, LOCATIONS_TABLE (id, geom) and POLYGON (id, geom). After that i filled the LOCATIONS_TABLE with the 2 points
SRID=4326;POINT(-103.4955 20.723544)
SRID=4326;POINT(-103.496956 20.722446)
After that i inserted the polygon in the POLYGON table
SRID=4326;POLYGON((-103.305496375 20.8527356811533,-103.0810348125 20.6129741620855,-101.6261045 20.5375321062668,-99.8356786875 20.3958770270624,-99.803065375 22.0572706994358,-99.649948125 28.9186361984516,-121.1212769375 8.69559423007209,-103.305496375 (...)
I visualized the situation in qgis, see picture below:
As you can see, the 2 points are inside the polygon. So i manually created a point outside the polygon. After that, you can use the following sql query, to see if the points are inside the polygon:
SELECT ST_Contains(polygon.geom, point.geom)
FROM public."LOCATIONS_TABLE" point, public."POLYGON" polygon
It returns t for the 2 points inside and false for the third point.
