Support for Spatial Adapter

Reported by Javier Goizueta | October 29th, 2008 @ 04:42 PM | in Beyond Hobo 1.0

I'm trying to use HoboFields with Spatial Adapter, which defines new geometric field types. Those fields have an attribute called srid and I'm submitting a patch to handle it.

While we're on it I'd like to suggest a couple of ideas to better support the use of Spatial Adaptor:
* Declaring indices in the model would be nice: class Example fields do name :string, :indexed name :geometry, :multi_polygon, :indexed=>:spatial end end With Spatial Adapter spatial indices are defined like this: add_index "examples", "geometry", :spatial=>true

  • Adding geometry-related tables to the always ignore list, namely 'spatial_ref_sys' and 'geometry_columns' for PostGIS.

I hope you consider at least the srid patch: I'd really love to use HoboFields and Spatial Adapter.

    • State changed from “new” to “investigating”

    Can you explain what this srid is. It would be better to extend the rich type mechanism to support this kind of thing extensibly, rather than baking in this particular plugin.

    Thanks

    • Milestone set to Beyond Hobo 1.0
    • State changed from “investigating” to “open”

    We're trying to lock things down for a 1.0 release, so I'm going to mark this as an open issue for after 1.0

    Thanks for the extra detail - I can see there's a need for this.
