Name

PostGIS_AddBBox — Add bounding box to the geometry.

Synopsis

+geometry +PostGIS_AddBBox(+`geometry `+geomA`)`;

Description

Add bounding box to the geometry. This would make bounding box based queries faster, but will increase the size of the geometry.

Note

Bounding boxes are automatically added to geometries so in general this is not needed unless the generated bounding box somehow becomes corrupted or you have an old install that is lacking bounding boxes. Then you need to drop the old and readd.

check This method supports Circular Strings and Curves.

Examples

UPDATE sometable
 SET geom =  PostGIS_AddBBox(geom)
 WHERE PostGIS_HasBBox(geom) = false;
