Term Details

point_config.py

In it's simplest case, SQL views are used to create required location table, so no aliasing is needed.

   location_info = {
       'location':{
           'service':'WFS',
           'version':'1.0.0',
           },
       }

These are the standard names that datafed uses:

• The dimension name is "location".
• No aliasing is needed, since the DB table/view and column names are standard.
• The view/table name in the DB is "location".
• The columns are lat", "lon" and "loc_code" and loc_code is a text type, not an integer.

CIRA_config.py

In the CIRA/VIEWS case, table and fields are aliased:

   VIEWS_location_info = {
       'location':{
           'service':'WFS',
           'version':'1.0.0',
           'table_alias':'Site',
           'columns':{
               'loc_code':{'column_alias':'SiteCode'},
               'lat':{'column_alias':'Latitude'},
               'lon':{'column_alias':'Longitude'},
               }
           },
       }

• The dimension name is still "location"
• The location table is called "Site"
• "SiteCode", "Latitude" and "Longitude" are aliased to "loc_code", "lat" and "lon".
