      Postgres Extension postgis Database

      Postgres by BigSQL includes the PostGIS extension, version 2.2 & 2.3, a powerful open source spatial and geographic data management package. PostGIS enables mapping, distance calculations, and geometry functions such as identifying if a point is within a polygon.

      Install and Enable PostGIS

      Using PostGIS with BigSQL is easy, simply install the PostGIS extension via pgc command line and then enable the extension in the database you want to use PostGIS functions. First, install PostGIS for your version of Postgres. For example, to install PostGIS with PostgreSQL v9.6 run the following:

      
      C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL>pgc install postgis23-pg96
        ['postgis23-pg96']
      Get:1 http://s3.amazonaws.com/pgcentral postgis23-pg96-2.3.0-win64
        Unpacking postgis23-pg96-2.3.0-win64.tar.bz2
      

      Then create the postgis extension. To do this in psql, connect to your database and run the following:

      
      mydb=# create extension postgis;
      CREATE EXTENSION
      mydb=# select st_distance_sphere(st_makepoint(-74.408934, 40.469244),st_makepoint(78.422142, 17.426312));
       st_distance_sphere
      --------------------
         12991160.3288215
      (1 row)
      
      mydb=#
      

      First, we enabled PostGIS in the database by running “CREATE EXTENSION”. Then, we used one of the PostGIS distance functions to calculate the distance between two cities on the planet.
