pgGetBoundary: Retrieve bounding envelope of geometries or rasters.

In mablab/rpostgis: R Interface to a 'PostGIS' Database

Retrieve bounding envelope of geometries or rasters.

Description

Retrieve bounding envelope (rectangle) of all geometries or rasters in a PostGIS table as a sfc object.

Usage

pgGetBoundary(conn, name, geom = "geom", clauses = NULL, returnclass = "sf")

Arguments

conn	A connection object to a PostgreSQL database
name	A character string specifying a PostgreSQL schema and table/view name holding the geometry (e.g., name = c("schema","table"))
geom	A character string specifying the name of the geometry column in the table name (Default = "geom"). Note that for raster objects you will need to change the default value
clauses	character, additional SQL to append to modify select query from table. Must begin with an SQL clause (e.g., "WHERE ...", "ORDER BY ...", "LIMIT ..."); same usage as in pgGetGeom.
returnclass	'sf' by default; 'terra' for SpatVector; or 'sp' for sp objects.

Value
