table	name of the table to be removed

Note: this function will drop a SpatialTable, SpatialView or VirtualShape being properly registered within the Metadata tables.
an eventual Spatial Index will be dropped as well, and any row referring the selected table will be removed from the Metadata tables.

See Also: gaiaDropTable

SPATIALITE_DECLARE void gaiaFreeVectorLayersList ( gaiaVectorLayersListPtr ptr )

Destroys a VectorLayersList object.

Parameters

ptr	pointer to the VectorLayersList object to be destroyed

See Also: gaiaGetVectorLayersList

Examples:: demo5.c.

SPATIALITE_DECLARE gaiaGeomCollPtr gaiaGetLayerExtent	(	sqlite3 *	handle,
		const char *	table,
		const char *	geometry,
		int	mode
	)

Queries the Metadata tables returning the Layer Full Extent.

Parameters

handle	SQLite handle to current DB connection.
table	VectorLayer Table (or View, or VirtualShape).
geometry	Geometry Column name.
mode	if TRUE a PESSIMISTIC statistics update will be implied, otherwise OPTIMISTIC.

Returns: the pointer to the newly created Geometry (Envelope): NULL on failure

See Also: update_layer_statistic, gaiaStatisticsInvalidate, gaiaGetVectorLayersList

Note: you are responsible to destroy (before or after) any allocated Geometry returned by gaiaGetLayerExtent().
The geometry arg is optional when the table simply has a single Geometry Column, and can be NULL in this case.
When the mode arg is set to FALSE (default) then the returned infos will be simply retrieved from the staticized statistic tables (faster, but could be inaccurate).
If the mode arg is set to TRUE a preliminary attempt to update the statistic tables will be always performed (probably slower, but surely accurate).
If the named Layer doesn't exist, or if it's completely empty (not containing any valid Geometry) NULL will be returned.

SPATIALITE_DECLARE gaiaVectorLayersListPtr gaiaGetVectorLayersList	(	sqlite3 *	handle,
		const char *	table,
		const char *	geometry,
		int	mode
	)

Queries the Metadata tables supporting Vector Layers.

Parameters

handle	SQLite handle to current DB connection.
table	VectorLayer Table (or View, or VirtualShape).
geometry	Geometry Column name.
mode	one of GAIA_VECTORS_LIST_OPTIMISTIC or GAIA_VECTORS_LIST_PESSIMISTIC.

Returns: the pointer to the newly created VectorLayersList object: NULL on failure

See Also: gaiaFreeVectorLayersList, update_layer_statistics, gaiaStatisticsInvalidate, gaiaGetLayerExtent, gaiaGetVectorLayersList

Note: you are responsible to destroy (before or after) any allocated VectorLayersList returned by gaiaGetVectorLayersList().
If the table arg is NULL all VectorLayers defined within the DB will be reported; otherwise only a single Layer will be reported (if existing).
By defining the geometry arg (not NULL) you can further restrict the returned report.
When the mode arg is set to GAIA_VECTORS_LIST_OPTIMISTIC (default) then the returned infos will be simply retrieved from the staticized statistic tables (faster, but could be inaccurate).
If the mode arg is set to GAIA_VECTORS_LIST_PESSIMISTIC a preliminary attempt to update the statistic tables will be always performed (probably slower, but surely accurate).

Examples:: demo5.c.

srid	the SRID to be set for Geometries
geo_column	the name of the geometry column
gtype	expected to be one of: "LINESTRING", "LINESTRINGZ", "LINESTRINGM", "LINESTRINGZM", "MULTILINESTRING", "MULTILINESTRINGZ", "MULTILINESTRINGM", "MULTILINESTRINGZM", "POLYGON", "POLYGONZ", "POLYGONM", "POLYGONZM", "MULTIPOLYGON", "MULTIPOLYGONZ", "MULTIPOLYGONM", "MULTIPOLYGONZM" or "AUTO".
pk_column	name of the Primary Key column; if NULL or mismatching then "PK_UID" will be assumed by default.
coerce2d	if TRUE any Geometry will be casted to 2D [XY]
compressed	if TRUE compressed Geometries will be created
verbose	if TRUE a short report is shown on stderr
spatial_index	if TRUE an R*Tree Spatial Index will be created
rows	on completion will contain the total number of actually exported rows
err_msg	on completion will contain an error message (if any)

Returns: 0 on failure, any other value on success

See Also: load_shapefile

Note: the Shapefile format doesn't supports any distinction between LINESTRINGs and MULTILINESTRINGs, or between POLYGONs and MULTIPOLYGONs; as does not allows to clearly distinguish if the M-measure is required.
So a first preliminary scan of the Shapefile is required in order to correctly identify the actual payload (gtype = "AUTO", default case).
By explicitly specifying some expected geometry type this first scan will be skipped at all thus introducing a noticeable performance gain.
Anyway, declaring a mismatching geometry type will surely cause a failure.

	)

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.

See Also: gaiaStatisticsInvalidate, gaiaGetLayerExtent, gaiaGetVectorLayersList

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