SPATIALITE_DECLARE int spatial_ref_sys_init	(	sqlite3 *	sqlite,

Inserts the inlined EPSG dataset into the "spatial_ref_sys" table.

Parameters:

sqlite	handle to current DB connection
verbose	if TRUE a short report is shown on stderr

Returns:: 0 on failure, any other value on success

Note:: this function is internally invoked by the SQL function InitSpatialMetadata(), and is not usually intended for direct use.

SPATIALITE_DECLARE void spatialite_cleanup ( )

Cleanup spatialite.

This function performs general cleanup, essentially undoing the effect of spatialite_init().

See also:: spatialite_init

SPATIALITE_DECLARE void spatialite_init ( int verbose )

Initializes the library.

Parameters:

verbose if TRUE a short start-up message is shown on stderr

Note:: You absolutely must invoke this function before attempting to perform any other SpatiaLite's call.

Examples:: demo1.c, demo2.c, demo3.c, and demo4.c.

SPATIALITE_DECLARE int update_layer_statistic	(	sqlite3 *	sqlite,
		const char *	table,
		const char *	column
	)

Updates the LAYER_STATICS metadata table.

Parameters:

sqlite	handle to current DB connection
table	name of the table to be processed
column	name of the geometry to be processed

Note:

this function will explore the given table/geometry determining the number of rows and the full layer extent; a corresponding table/geometry entry is expected to be already declared in the GEOMETRY_COLUMNS table. These informations will be permanently stored into the LAYER_STATISTICS table; if such table does not yet exists will be implicitly created.

if table is NULL, any entry found within GEOMETRY_COLUMNS will be processed.
if table is not NULL and column is NULL, any geometry belonging to the given table will be processed.
if both table and column are not NULL, then only the given entry will be processed.

Returns:: 0 on failure, the total count of processed entries on success
