Integrating SQL with QGIS
Earlier chapters focusing on SQL and geospatial analysis have expanded your geospatial vocabulary and introduced SQL. You now have access to a host of new tools to explore location intelligence. This final chapter will serve as a segue into an open source workflow for additional learning and insights. The ability to access large datasets and explore them with the expanded functionality of plugins within the QGIS platform, combined with PostGIS and the dynamic spatial query language, is addressed with a higher level of acuity. I suggest downloading the Long-Term Release (LTR) for the most stable QGIS version: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html.
In this chapter, you will learn to explore SQL queries within DB Manager in QGIS and you will also learn how to import and configure raster datasets along with calculating raster functions.
In this chapter, we’ll cover the following topics:
