This module contains functions and procedures that make use of data (either Data Observatory or user-provided data) for their computations.
For the DATAOBS_
methods, users can find the details on where to locate the tables (and their qualified names) within the corresponding data warehouse by going to the "Access in" option in the subscription page in the Data Explorer, and picking the data warehouse where that data has been made available.
Description
This procedure enriches a set of grid cells of one of the supported types (quadbin) with data from the Data Observatory. The user must be subscribed to all the Data Observatory datasets involved in the enrichment. The cells are identified by their indices.
As a result of this process, each input grid cell will be enriched with the data of the Data Observatory datasets that spatially intersect it. When the input cell intersects with more than one polygon, point, or line of the Data Observatory datasets, the data is aggregated using the aggregation methods specified.
Valid aggregation methods are:
SUM
: It assumes the aggregated variable is an extensive property (e.g. population). Accordingly, the value corresponding to the Data Observatory feature intersected is weighted by the fraction of area or length intersected. If the Data Observatory features are points, then a simple sum is performed.
MIN
: It assumes the aggregated variable is an intensive property (e.g. temperature, population density). Thus, the value is not altered by the intersected area/length as it's the case for SUM
.
MAX
: It assumes the aggregated variable is an intensive property (e.g. temperature, population density). Thus, the value is not altered by the intersected area/length as it's the case for SUM
.
AVG
: It assumes the aggregated variable is an intensive property (e.g. temperature, population density). Thus, the value is not altered by the intersected area/length as it's the case for SUM
. However, a weighted average is computed, using the intersection areas or lengths as the weight. When the Data Observatory features are points, a simple average is computed.
COUNT
It computes the number of Data Observatory features that contain the enrichment variable and are intersected by the input geography.
Input parameters
grid_type
: Type of grid: "quadbin".
input_query
: VARCHAR
query to be enriched; this query must produce valid grid indices for the selected grid type in a column of the proper type (INT for quadbin). It can include additional columns with data associated with the grid cells that will be preserved. A qualified table name can be given as well, e.g. 'database.schema.table-name'
or 'schema.table-name'
.
input_index_column
: VARCHAR
name of a column in the query that contains the grid indices.
variables
: VARCHAR
JSON array of pairs with variables of the Data Observatory that will be used to enrich the input polygons. For each variable, its slug and the aggregation method to be used must be provided. Use 'default'
to use the variable’s default aggregation method. Valid aggregation methods are: SUM
, AVG
, MAX
, MIN
, and COUNT
. e.g. [["var1","sum"],["var2","count"]
.
filters
: VARCHAR
filters to be applied to the Data Observatory datasets used in the enrichment can be passed here. Each filter is applied to the Data Observatory dataset or geography, identified by its corresponding slug, passed in the dataset field of the structure. The second field of the structure, expression, is an SQL expression that will be inserted in a WHERE
clause and that can reference any column of the dataset or geography table. Please note that column names (not slugs) should be applied here.
output_table
: VARCHAR
containing the name of an output table to store the results e.g. 'database.table-name'
. The resulting table cannot exist before running the procedure.
source
: VARCHAR
name of the location where the Data Observatory subscriptions of the user are stored, in 'database.schema'
or 'schema'
format.
Output
The output table will contain all the input columns provided in the input_query
and one extra column for each variable in variables
, named after its corresponding enrichment column and including a suffix indicating the aggregation method used.
