Geospatial

Area of rapid growth and technology change.

Metamorphism of maps into Enterprise IT

Increasing ubiquity in consumer electronics

Necessity to manage resources

Growth opportunity for Analytics

Geospatial Technology

Slide 4


Non profit founded in 2006 to: “support and promote the collaborative development of open geospatial technologies and data”

Over 440 committers and 7.7M Lines of code

Open Source Geospatial Foundation

Usability/Migration

Usability improvements– ODBC client package– Character set migration

Roadmap– More operations spanning both Ingres & VW types– Lightweight client (e.g. no GCA)– Client/server transliteration– Transport compression– More SQL compatibility


OpenROAD Current Status

OpenROAD 2006– Terminal release for HP Tru64– Enterprise support ends December 31st, 2011 2013

OpenROAD 5.1 is the most current release– GA platforms

• Windows, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX– QA team is testing

• Linux OpenROAD 6.0 is now with QA


OpenROAD Development Roadmap(6-9 months out)

OpenROAD 6.0– Plans are for Windows only– Superset of OpenROAD 5.1– Primary differences are

• Built against Ingres 9.2• Transparent Unicode Support

– QA going as expected


OpenROAD Development Roadmap (1-2 years out)

Providing developers the ability to improve appearance of applications– Code Generation

• Frames / user classes – Special effects

• Rounded corners / Transparency / Sprites

– Tablefields • Exact height and width

– Deployment• LoadnRun contribution


OpenROAD Development Roadmap (1-2 yrs)

Current Bitmap, Transparent, Rounded


Longer Term OpenROAD Development Roadmap

OpenROAD Engine Work – TreeviewFields– OptionFields

Built against Ingres 10.x Exploit Ingres 10.x

– Features– Datatypes

64 bit release– Lots of foundation work needed

UK IUA Code Sprint Contributions

Slide 22


Interoperability & Migrations

Row value constructors

Multi-row inserts

DECODE() REPEAT() RAND() & SRAND()

Slide 23


Row Value Constructors and Multi-Row Inserts

Row value constructors Improved efficiency and performance

Slide 24

Example Multi-Row Insert

INSERT INTO Orders (OrderNo, ItemNo, Qty, UnitPrice) VALUES (1200, 23478, 10, 30.00),

(1200, 15453, 4, 23.00), (1200, 14545, 1, 89.00)


DECODE() function

Syntax:

decode( expression , search , result [, search , result]... [, default] )

expression is the value to compare.

search is the value that is compared against expression.

result is the value returned, if expression is equal to search.

default is optional. If no matches are found, the decode will return default. If default is omitted, then the decode statement will return null (if no matches are found).

Slide 25


DECODE() Example

SELECT supplier_name, decode(supplier_id,10000, 'IBM', 10001, 'Microsoft', 10002, 'Hewlett Packard',

'Gateway') result FROM suppliers;

Slide 26


REPEAT() function

Syntax:

repeat (expr,n)expr An expression that specifies the string to be

repeated.

n specifies the number of times to repeat the string.

Example:

REPEAT('REPEAT THIS', 5)'REPEAT THISREPEAT THISREPEAT THISREPEAT THISREPEAT THIS’

Synonym: replicate (expr,n)

Slide 27


RAND() and SRAND()

rand([seed])– seed is an integer that gives the seed value. If seed is

not specified, it assigns a seed value at random. For a specified seed value, the result returned is always the same.

– Returns random float value between 0 and 1 srand(int)

– Sets the starting point for generating a series of pseudorandom values

Slide 28


Usability – Loyal Ingres Users

Terminal Monitor Formatting Enhancements Availability of last recorded query start time and

session start time in IIMONINTOR II_GCD_LOG support for %p – the process id; %d –

the date alterdb –readonly | -readwrite relocateckp - restore checkpoint to another

database, potentially in another Ingres instance

Slide 29


Usability – Loyal Ingres Users

Ability to turn on SC924 via config.dat and to switch on a stackdump when it is triggered

Audit log maintenance script to prevent disk full problems

infodb –database – display a list of databases

Slide 30

Service Desk Enhancement Request 150914

Check for empty database name before connecting to new database in Query tab

Complete

Slide 31


Change BgColor of ‘Database’ and ‘Table or View’ entry fields in the dialog titled ‘Select a Database Table’ to indicate that you can type into these fields.

Complete

Slide 32


Implement sorting by clicking on a ‘Table Selection:’ frame’s header column to order the rows in the display table. Please implement two levels of ordering.

Complete

Slide 33


When suggesting a string value for assignment to a variable in the debugger please enclose in single quotes

Complete

Slide 34


It would be nice to have an option like 'always on top' for the property inspector.

Complete

Slide 35


It should be possible to create a new application or component when right clicking in the applications or components pane. Currently the option 'new' is not available on the menus opened by right mouse click.

Complete

Slide 36

Slide 37



Complete

Slide 38



When you click on the components pane and then click on the 'new' button, a popup for creating a new application gets opened.

Slide 39



The customer expects to create a new component. Either the 'new' button should be dimmed, when the components pane is activated or when clicking the 'new' button you should get a list of possible components to create
