Create overviews for vector dataset.

Using the function

The table for which overviews will be generated should be a Cartodbfied dataset with vector geometry.

SELECT CDB_CreateOverviews('table_name');
--- Generates overview tables for the dataset

Arguments

CDB_CreateOverviews(table_name, ref_z_strategy, reduction_strategy)

  • table_name regclass, table for which overviews will be generated
  • ref_z_strategy regproc, function that provides the Z-scale strategy. It returns the base Z level for the dataset. It should have these arguments:
    • table_name regclass, table to compute the reference Z scale for
  • reduction_strategy regproc, function that provides the reduction strategy to generate an overview table from a table for a smaller scale (higher Z number). It returns the name of the generated table. It should have these arguments:
    • base_table_name regclass, base table to be reduced.
    • base_z integer, base Z level assigned to the base table.
    • overview_z integer, Z level for which to generate the overview.
