             Summary: Support OpenGIS Simple Feature Access SQL
                 Key: CALCITE-1968
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1968
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Julian Hyde
            Assignee: Julian Hyde


Support [OpenGIS Simple Feature Access 
SQL|http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sfs]. This is standard core 
functionality for spatial/geographical/geometry data, implemented by PostGIS 
and others.

It basically consists of a {{GEOMETRY}} data type and about 150 functions whose 
names start with 'ST_', for example {{ST_GeomFromText}} and {{ST_Distance}}. 
[H2 GIS|http://www.h2gis.org/docs/dev/functions/] has a good reference. (Look 
for the functions labeled 'OpenGIS 1.2.1'.)

Adds a {{SqlConformance.allowGeometry()}} method to allow people to 
enable/disable this functionality.

First commit will probably add a dozen or so functions, backed by a library 
such as [ESRI Geometry API|https://github.com/Esri/geometry-api-java]. I'd 
appreciate help implementing the rest.

Spatial indexes are covered by CALCITE-1861 and are out of scope of this case. 
So with this feature, spatial queries will work, but predicates will be applied 
row-by-row.
