How do I construct a LINESTRING by aggregating Points (ST_MakeLine) in MariaDB?












0















Let's say I have a table with 3 points,



CREATE TABLE foo ( id int PRIMARY KEY, geog point );
INSERT INTO foo (id, geog) VALUES
( 1, Point(0,0) ),
( 2, Point(1,1) ),
( 3, Point(2,2) );


How can I construct a LINESTRING with those three points in those three different rows. The resulting WKT should be LINESTRING( 0 0, 1 1, 2 2 )?





PostGIS does this with a Spatial Aggregate called ST_MakeLine



SELECT ST_MakeLine(geog)
FROM foo
ORDER BY id;

          Because MariaDB (and MySQL) lack all spatial aggregates, the only method is currently to create the WKT, and force MySQL to parse that WKT.



          SELECT CONCAT(
          'LINESTRING (',
          GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT(ST_X(geog),' ',ST_Y(geog)) SEPARATOR ' '),
          ')'
          )
          FROM foo
          ORDER BY id;
          -- returns LINESTRING (0 0 1 1 2 2)


          The inside part



          GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT(ST_X(geog),' ',ST_Y(geog)) SEPARATOR ' ')


          Creates the point list, and then we just wrap that in LINESTRING ( $pointlist )
