Table setup with psql

-- Create a table for user's postions
CREATE TABLE locations (
    id       BIGSERIAL,
    time     timestamp DEFAULT current_timestamp,
    accuracy INTEGER,
    crs      VARCHAR DEFAULT 'WGS84'
);

-- install postgis
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

-- Add a postgis geometry column (schema: public, table: locations, column: geom, srid: 4326, type: POINT, dimensions: 2)
SELECT AddGeometryColumn ('public','locations','geom',4326,'POINT',2);

-- Example: Add point
INSERT INTO locations(geom)
VALUES(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-59.0513 53.7331)', 4326));

-- Example: Get point
SELECT ST_AsText(geom) FROM locations;

-- Example: Get all data of the last 60 seconds
SELECT * FROM locations WHERE time > NOW() - interval '60 sec';

-- Create table for wms locations
CREATE TABLE wms (
    id      BIGSERIAL,
    path	VARCHAR,
    time    timestamp DEFAULT current_timestamp,
    bbox    VARCHAR
);

-- Example: Add wms image path
INSERT INTO wms(path)
VALUES( '/usr/l_loho01/wms/wms-0001.png');

-- Get all image paths
SELECT * FROM wms;
