GIS: need to add data to a shape file
I tried posting this question earlier but was unsuccessful so I'm trying again
I imported a shape (set of points) file into postgres and have a table (hist_info) with additional data also in postgres. I tried creating a VIEW with data that I need from each files but for a reason I can't figure out as to why my GIS layer (created in geoserver) is blank. A SELECT * FROM new_view shows there is data in the table created by the VIEW....
So my questions are 1. What data must I include in the VIEW in order for the newly created VIEW will display as points and show the added data when a point is clicked on?开发者_运维技巧
- What is the best way to combine the two files so that I can display the data from the hist_info table when someone click on one of the points on the map displayed in their browse?
Thanks for the help!!
Regards Chris
You need to insert a record in the geometry_columns table or GeoServer won't read your view's geometry. Have a look at this:
