This page describes the join of ccm21.catchments with the clc

CookBook Eda

First an example for Britany

We chose to work on a reduced scale to build the queries as the clc is just damn too big for us, and raster approches are not yet avalaible in postgis, though we fancy using the functions displayed in the developpement page ​http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/WKTRaster.

building a table of clc only for Britany

After several trial neither ST_Crosses nor ST_Contains did work, the example with ST_Intersects provides a surface that is larger than britany, but ST_Crosses missed the area near the coasts as the geom had to be fully within Britany.

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS clc.clc00_v2_Bretagne;
CREATE TABLE clc.clc00_v2_Bretagne AS
SELECT * FROM clc.clc00_v2_europe where gid IN (
SELECT gid FROM  clc.clc00_v2_europe clc JOIN
    (SELECT the_geom FROM france.region where code_reg='53') as sub
    ON ST_Intersects(sub.the_geom,clc.the_geom));
    
ALTER TABLE clc.clc00_v2_Bretagne ADD CONSTRAINT c_pk_gid PRIMARY KEY  (gid);
alter table clc.clc00_v2_Bretagne add CONSTRAINT enforce_dims_the_geom CHECK (ndims(the_geom) = 2);
alter table clc.clc00_v2_Bretagne add  CONSTRAINT enforce_geotype_the_geom CHECK (geometrytype(the_geom) = 'MULTIPOLYGON'::text OR the_geom IS NULL);
alter table clc.clc00_v2_Bretagne add  CONSTRAINT enforce_srid_the_geom CHECK (srid(the_geom) = 3035);
CREATE INDEX indexclc00_v2_Bretagne ON clc.clc00_v2_Bretagne
  USING GIST ( the_geom GIST_GEOMETRY_OPS ); 

-- run this only once
INSERT INTO geometry_columns(f_table_catalog, f_table_schema, f_table_name, f_geometry_column, coord_dimension, srid, "type")
SELECT '', 'clc', 'clc00_v2_Bretagne', 'the_geom', ST_CoordDim(the_geom), ST_SRID(the_geom), GeometryType(the_geom)
FROM clc.clc00_v2_europe LIMIT 1;

Cutting the surface according to the catchments area

Note this one took a long time to run on my computer, one hour for Britany... It uses ST_Intersects to reduce the search list and ST_Multi(ST_Intersection()) to cut along the primary catchments borders. As a result of using the catchment database only for Britany, the layers that were outside from Britany geographic range are now discarded
