Comment on Faster PostgresSQL to BigQuery Transfers

Comments

Back when I was working with shapefiles, it was the type of things that tended to be far more convenient to process in-process using something like GDAL [1] (which can operate directly on an in memory copy, gzip files, sqlite databases and far more) and query it with GDAL's SQL support, especially when build with Spatialite [2] rather than loading it into a separate database. It'd have been interesting if the author had talked about what's stopping him from that approach given he's clearly aware of GDAL and given that 130M records and a few tens of GB isn't a particularly big GIS dataset.

I'll take a look into it.

Last year I found ClickHouse did H3 enrichment much faster than PG or BQ so it has become a go-between for larger workloads with simple enrichment requirements.

The dataset in the post is an example anyone can download. I handle 30B+ records at work.

It would also be good to see GEOS, GDAL and PROJ integrated into ClickHouse.

You can just add feature requests like this to ClickHouse issue tracker. https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45129
