Summary
In this chapter, you were introduced to geospatial fundamentals to help understand the graphical syntax of spatial data science. You discovered a few SQL basic queries and set up your workflow for the chapters that follow. Important concepts about the properties and characteristics of vector and raster data were also introduced.
In Chapter 2, Conceptual Framework for SQL Spatial Data Science – Geometry Versus Geography, you will begin learning about SQL by working with the database you created in this chapter.
The fundamentals of a query-based syntax will become clearer as you discover spatial functions for discovering patterns and testing hypotheses in the datasets.
