add a gui and sql / sqlite export #32

Can you propose structure of sqlite db? |
What are all the values that can be exported so I can think to a scheme |
This is JSON scheme https://github.com/kiselev-dv/gazetteer/blob/develop/GazetteerWeb/src/main/resources/gazetteer_schema.json In a nut shell - this is data I have. In cvs I can't save all data what I have. (In first place I can't save neighbor streets and places). Does sqlite supports arrays or associative arrays? |
why do you need array? you can save fields from array like values in a table with same structure like array |
I dont want to create explicit table for Tags and associations between features |
ok, tomorrow I will send how I think is ok schema for sqlite |
What you say about this structure? POI
Street
Cities
House Number
Administrative Division
|
As first step - ok. I should think about it for a few days. |
@Raku I'm not familiar with sqlite, so first question about alternatenames, is there some kind of string array type in sqlite? Or how alternatenames should looks like? Next thing about alternatenames - all they actualy have particular language. I've dropped language for some reasons in json alternate_names but I think it will be helpfull in sqlite dumps. Next shape |
alternatenames - will be a string text or varchar, here depends on how long are alternatenames, and is the name in other language separated by coma I think |
Or maybe you have a better idea for storing shapes |
For shapes, I think to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpatiaLite (it's sqlite geospatial extension). But still, I'm not shure about storing alternate names as json encoded string (or any oteher kind of string encode). Also I want to store original object tags which are also key-value pairs. Ofcourse I can keep those pairs in separate table or add them as columns, but it's not easy to use. |
why to store them in json format? if you store like that then will need to parse json and get values, another operation that is not needed. simple text just a query and you have the values |
But you still should parse them. Arrays:
Tags
As for me there is no difference between those two cases, expet I should write my own encoder and decoder for custom format. Maybe I'll use separate table for tags and string arrays. Something like this:
key=null for array members, in such case it's not an arrays - it's sets. |
ok, then store them like json if is easy for you |
Anyway, I'll wait for few days for more comments, I have rather simmilar task (export for oracle). |
Adding a GUI for gazetter will improve usability, specialy when exporting.
Also adding an option for export sql or sqlite will make it easy and faster when using on android.
