ETL for mdc_metrorail

######### # GDSC ETL is performed in two steps: shell script to ETL data into postgres # and then additional transformations with SQL in postGIS (if needed). #### ######### # Step 1 - bash script (pseudo code) #### # create directory structure and move into it mkdir -p /data/mdc_metrorail/{download,etl} && cd /data/mdc_metrorail # set update flag based on last update and update frequency do_update=0 if date() < last_update + update_frequency else do_update = 1 # download if update flag is set: if do_update == 1 then wget -O download/mdc_metrorail.json 'https://services.arcgis.com/8Pc9XBTAsYuxx9Ny/arcgis/rest/services/MetroRail_gdb/FeatureServer/0/query?where=1%3D1&outFields=*&outSR=4326&f=json' # replace column names Shape__Length and Shape__Area to avoid conflict when # providing as service on ArcServer. sed -i 's/Shape__Length/shape_length/gI; s/Shape__Area/shape_area/gI' download/mdc_metrorail.json # load into postGIS with: ogr2ogr -lco GEOMETRY_NAME=geom -f PostgreSQL PG:"" download/mdc_metrorail.json -nlt multilinestring -nln mdc_metrorail ######### # Step 2 - SQL script (pseudo code): #### # remove duplicate points and make geometries valid: UPDATE mdc_metrorail SET geom=ST_MakeValid(ST_RemoveRepeatedPoints(geom));" # add local geometry column and reproject existing geometries into local EPSG: SELECT AddGeometryColumn ( 'mdc_metrorail', 'geom_local',2236,'multilinestring',2 ); UPDATE mdc_metrorail SET geom_local=ST_MakeValid(ST_RemoveRepeatedPoints(ST_Transform(ST_Multi(geom),2236))); CREATE INDEX mdc_metrorail_geom_local_idx ON mdc_metrorail USING GIST (geom_local); NOTIFY pgrst, 'reload schema';"
