Hi,

I try to insert (in spatialite_gui but same with php) a new record (or update existing one) in a table geoilot with this parameter :
  1. field geom : GEOMETRY
  2. geometry type : multipolygone (6)
  3. srid : 4326 (WGS84)
  4. coord dimension : 2
the geometry come from geojson so I have to convert it.
my query is :
INSERT INTO geoilot (ilot_id,GEOMETRY)
VALUES (12345,
GeomFromGeoJSON('{"type":"MultiPolygon",
"coordinates":[[[[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348],
[4.962346534809607,45.77570845150045],[4.962250134932329,
45.77537893550701],[4.961608743451676,45.77527504348121],
[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348]]]]}
')
)
I have en error geom-type or srid not allowed...
The SELECT query (without insert) is good :
SELECT GeomFromGeoJSON('{"type":"MultiPolygon",
"coordinates":[[[[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348],
[4.962346534809607,45.77570845150045],[4.962250134932329,
45.77537893550701],[4.961608743451676,45.77527504348121],
[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348]]]]}
') as geom

I tried to add CASTOMULTI for my geom but not better...

Do you know where is the problem please ?
Thank's a lot

Guen

Calling SRID() on that geometry returns 0 for me, you'll probably need to explicitly call SetSRID(geom, 4326).

I'm not sure of the reasons behind this but I believe the spec used to allow alternate projections, but that has since been deprecated and may exist for historical purposes.
https://macwright.com/2015/03/23/geojson-second-bite.html#projections

It would probably be fairly safe these days for spatialite to assume 4326 for GeoJSON.

SELECT spatialite_version();
5.0.0

spatialite> SELECT SRID( GeomFromGeoJSON('{"type":"MultiPolygon",

"coordinates":[[[[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348],
[4.962346534809607,45.77570845150045],[4.962250134932329,
45.77537893550701],[4.961608743451676,45.77527504348121],
[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348]]]]}
') ) as geom;
0

I don't find a new version for spatialite_gui (http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/spatialite-gui-sources/spatialite_gui-2.1.0-beta1.zip doesn't work...) or file to install on windows.
and it is 4.3.0.a on my linux server (but same problem).

Guen,

you are looking in the wrong place; you are attempting to download
the source code when you actually need an executable binary.

you can find the prebuilt binaries for Windows from here (32 bit)
http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/windows-bin-x86-prev/

or from here (64 bit)
http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/windows-bin-amd64-prev/

bye Sandro

how to correctly (and quickly) resolve this kind of
problems.

the golden rule: always test your SQL code step by step
carefully avoiding too much complex statements.

so we'll start by testing GeomFromGeoJSON() alone

SELECT GeomFromGeoJSON('{"type":"MultiPolygon",
"coordinates":[[[[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348],
[4.962346534809607,45.77570845150045],[4.962250134932329,
45.77537893550701],[4.961608743451676,45.77527504348121],
[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348]]]]}');

ok, it returns a Geometry; but calling the BLOB exporer
widget supported by the GUI we'll soon discover that
it actually is a MULTIPOLYGON, but the SRID has the
default value (0).
this doesn matches the geometry constraints, and the
INSERT will obviously fail.

the solution now becomes evident; we need to set
SRID=4326

correctly rewriting the SQL statement:

INSERT INTO geoilot (ilot_id,GEOMETRY)
VALUES (12345,
SetSrid(GeomFromGeoJSON('{"type":"MultiPolygon",
"coordinates":[[[[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348],
[4.962346534809607,45.77570845150045],[4.962250134932329,
45.77537893550701],[4.961608743451676,45.77527504348121],
[4.96155079044088,45.77560724373348]]]]}'), 4326)

note: exactly as previously suggested by Peter.

bye Sandro

OK good ! I saw the SRID=0 on the Blob explorer but I didn't try SetSrid..and it work's
thank's a lot (and for the download link too) !
