ADQL and Spatial Queries Generic Queries? Spatial constraints e.g. Using HTM ids Complex Queries Parsing Difficulties Suggestions and Options

ADQL Example ADQL (Spatial) SELECT o.ra, o.dec FROM photoobjall as o WHERE CONTAINS( POINT('J2000', o.ra, o.dec), Region('CIRCLE J2000 180 0 0.3')) = 1 SDSS SQL Query: Select o.ra, o.dec From photoobjAll as o inner join dbo.fSphGetHtmRanges(dbo.fSphSimplifyString('CIRCLE J2000 180 0 0.3')) h on o.HtmID between h.HtmIdStart and h.HtmIdEnd Where dbo.fSphRegionContainsXYZ(dbo.fSphSimplifyString('CIRCLE J2000 180 0 0.3'), o.cx ,o.cy,o.cz) = 1

ADQL and Spatial Queries SELECT a.objid, a.ra, a.dec, b.objid, b.ra, b.dec FROM CatalogA AS a INNER JOIN CatalogB AS b ON CONTAINS(CIRCLE(a.ra, a.dec, 0.1), POIN T(b.ra, b.dec)) WHERE (some condition) circle has to be calculated for every row in A in order to evaluate the query HTM based optimization (not sufficient?) Solution:: temporary tables, generate the HTM ranges, put an index on them and then do the BETWEEN query.

ADQL and Spatial Queries CREATE TABLE ##htmtemp (ObjID bigint, HtmStart bigint, HtmEnd bigint) -- + create the indices here: PK on ObjID, cover index on HtmStart/End INSERT ##htmtemp WITH (TABLOCK) (ObjID, HtmStart, HtmEnd) SELECT ObjID, htm.Start, htm.End FROM CatalogA CROSS APPLY dbo.fHtmCoverCircleEq(Ra, Dec, 0.1) AS htm SELECT a.objid, a.ra, a.dec, b.objid, b.ra, b.dec FROM CatalogA AS a INNER JOIN ##htmtemp htm ON htm.ObjID = a.ObjID INNER JOIN CatalogB AS b ON dbo.fGetHtmEq(b.Ra, B.Dec) BETWEEN htm.HtmStart AND htm.HtmEnd WHERE ...

ADQL and Spatial Queries CREATE TABLE ##htmtemp (ObjID bigint, HtmStart bigint, HtmEnd bigint) -- + create the indices here: PK on ObjID, cover index on HtmStart/End INSERT ##htmtemp WITH (TABLOCK) (ObjID, HtmStart, HtmEnd) SELECT ObjID, htm.Start, htm.End FROM CatalogA CROSS APPLY dbo.fHtmCoverCircleEq(Ra, Dec, 0.1) AS htm SELECT a.objid, a.ra, a.dec, b.objid, b.ra, b.dec FROM CatalogA AS a INNER JOIN ##htmtemp htm ON htm.ObjID = a.ObjID INNER JOIN CatalogB AS b ON dbo.fGetHtmEq(b.Ra, B.Dec) BETWEEN htm.HtmStart AND htm.HtmEnd WHERE ... Multiway joins are slow!!

Special Spatial Objects bright in Optical and invisible in UV Query: SELECT ...FROM SDSS AS a INNER JOIN Galex AS b ON NOT CONTAINS(CIRCLE(a.ra, a.dec, 0.1), POINT(b.ra, b.dec)) Ugly where clauses WHERE CONTAINS(CIRCLE(POINT(a.ra, a.dec), 0.5), POINT(b.ra, b.dec) OR     CONTAINS(CIRCLE(POINT(a.ra + 0.2, a.dec + 0.2), 0.5), POINT(b.ra,b.dec) Multiple conditions where clause WHERE CONTAINS(CIRCLE(POINT(a.ra, a.dec), 0.5), POINT(b.ra, b.dec) AND type= galaxy OR     CONTAINS(CIRCLE(POINT(a.ra, a.dec), 0.5), POINT(b.ra, b.dec) AND type= star

Suggestions Spatial region: only constant values Spatial constraints: Outside where clause CROSS MATCH : handling separately
