geo/geogfn: implement ST_Buffer({geography,float8,text}) #48391
Labels
A-geography-builtins
Builtins which have geography as args.
C-enhancement
Solution expected to add code/behavior + preserve backward-compat (pg compat issues are exception)
Implement
ST_Buffer
on arguments {geography,float8,text}, which should adopt PostGIS behaviour.Observers: Please react to this issue if you need this functionality.
For Geography builtins, please do the following:
pkg/geo/geogfn
(parse and output related functions can go inpkg/geo
). Add exhaustive unit tests here - you can run through example test cases and make sure that PostGIS and CRDB return the same result within a degree of accuracy (1cm for geography).pkg/sql/sem/builtins/geo_builtins.go
. Note that we currently do not support optional arguments, so we define functions that have optional arguments once without the optional argument (using the default value in the optional position), and once with the optional argument.pkg/sql/logictest/testdata/logic_test/geospatial
to call this functionality at least once. You can callmake testbaselogic FILES='geospatial' TESTFLAGS='-rewrite'
to regenerate the output. Tests here should just ensure the builtin is linked end to end (your exhaustive unit tests go the above mentioned packages!).make buildshort
. You can also play with it by calling./cockroach demo --empty
afterwards.You can follow #48529 for an example PR.
The following additional guidance has been issued on implementing this function:
